What did you say about your surgery to those you did not want to disclose fully to?

I'm comfortable with the idea of WLS, just got my date, have a supportive husband, and two or three close friends who want me to be healthy as well. Here's the rub. I lost about 96 pounds a decade ago on Opti-Fast. I regained the weight. My sisters-in-law were okay during the weight loss, but looked at me less than supportively as the weight crept back on. This time I do not want to tell them in advance what the surgery is for exactly, nor do I want to lie. How can I let them know I am having surgery for my health, yet not go into deep detail?
