What is the easiest way to tell my roommates about the surgery and post op care?

I am going through open RNY on July 31st. I live about 4 hours away from my family. I live in an apartment now with two of my friends who are my age (23). I know I have the option to stay with my family for several days post-op, but that means I'll be about 4 horus from my surgeon if there would be any complications. I would prefer to stay at my apartment close to my home and my surgeon. What is the best way to tell my roommates about the actual process of the surgery? Also, what should I brief them about my post-op care? I do not necessarily want to burden them with a lot of unnecessary information, but I want to keep them well informed. Any suggestions?
