Just wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for explaining an upcoming tummy tuck to a 9 yo daughter. I have had body issues since I was 8 and I have made it a point to make sure I don't focus on body shapes, weight, or anything that would lead my daughter down the same road. My issues were cause by a mom that was overly concerned that I was "fat" when I was little. My daughter will obviously know something is different. How do I explain that I am having a tummy tuck but still convey to her that body image is not something she should be concerned with?
