you are the best one to know your family. i think you should tell them before the surgery. because they are your family and they should know what is happening. and it is unfair to let your family feel unhappy and not to tell them.
have faith on your self, and do not let any body frustrating you
hope your surgery going well

today we have many devices to record ourselves, I would record a loving memory of what you are thinking and the fears that you are going through and show your Family on a video that you love them enough to not worry them, (because what good would that do anyway?) then just let everyone of them know how much you love and miss them and sorry for not doing this another way, but this is what you have to give them.
Then give the tape to the doctors that will be working on you and ask them to give it to the Family in case it doesn’t work out for you.

Very good question….I guess it depends on your relationship with your relatives. Are you real close w/them or not? Personally, I would rather just take care of my personal problems on my own, I do not like to worry, bother, or cause any unneeded attention where my health is concerned. Your health is your own responisbility. You should take care of it accordingly, why should your relatives be stressed out about it? Do yourself a favor, and your relatives a favor….and take care of it on your own. When the time comes, if they have to be notified….they will be.
