Hey all! So, I'm scheduled for my TT on 9/12/13. I'm 48 and have two kids, 8 and 10, who are very attached to me and freak out at the mere mention of mommy being sick or hurt. I have waited a really long time to get my body and self confidence back, and this is a pretty good time for me in many ways. I'm concerned about telling my kids in advance of the operation because I think they will worry themselves sick about what "might" happen. They have no clue what a TT is, and would probably plead with me not to go through with it. I'm wondering how others have dealt with such dilemmas. I'm wondering if I should just tell them after the procedure so that they know I'm OK and that I'm going to get better and better as the weeks pass. Any advice or sharing of experiences would be helpful. Thanks!
