A believeable story to tell others who you dont want to know you had WLS?

I am a very private person, and as I will not be embarassed to have WLS and will be able to be proud, thankful and grateful. I do not want to openly announce to anyone and everyone my decision to do so. My weight is a very sensitive issue for me and I am very shy about it. I do not like people to comment on how fat I am or if I have lost weight. I really do not like attention drawn to me. Therefore I plan on telling very few people about my decision to have this surgery. I was wondering what a believable story is fo rthose I do not wish to share the truth with. I just think if I tell them then I will have to deal with there reactions good or bad and answer all kinds of questions that I dont want to constantly deal with. Any suggestions? I was thinking of saying I had and abnormal growth on my intestines so they have to do emergencey surgery and remove part of it. But I know people will want more info than that, especially my sister who is a nurse and I am not sure what else to say beyond that or how to explain that kind of thing as to what it was and why etc...? Any suggestions????
