Is it wrong not to tell my co-workers and supervisor?

6 months ago I began looking into this surgery. I brought the subject up to some co-workers, one of which is my best friend. The negativity was unbearable so I never spoke another word of it. Now, my surgery is in February and I do not want to tell any of them! I work for a large company. Everyone in my department is close, we all know eachother well. They also talk badly about overweight people. I know once I go to my supervisor to tell her I'm having major surgery she will be concerned and want to know what is wrong. It would be rude to say "it's private." I just do not want to deal with the talking behind my back and people trying to talk me out of it. I'm 22 years old. I won't be having my gall bladder out during the surgery. I thought of using that but I'm afraid that I will develope gall stones after surgery and need to have it taken out later. The best idea I can come up with is that I'm having a "growth" removed from my stomach. I've been a wreck over this. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
