Advise on how to talk to family about having WLS.

I have only told my husband, mother and best friend (that has had the surgery about 10 years ago) that I want to and am going to have this surgery. I've been approved and I'm waiting for doctor to schedule surgery. I need advise (real advise) on how to explain this to my children ages 15, 12 and 8. Also on how to talk to my in-law's and extended family that is sliently crictical of my weight.
