Should I tell my mother about my new surgery date?

Hi, I am 35yrs young and my mother is totally agianst wls. I am tired of trying to convience my mother the reasons why I want surgery. Nothing helps. She is very strong willed and stubborn as so am I. She thinks my surgery is May 17th and she has driven me crazy since. We alway end up talking at first and then angry upon hanging up the phone.(She lives MI, I live in FL) She thinks that I can loose the weight by dieting. Tried that for 10 yrs, didn't happen. Well my surg has been moved up to May 3rd and I really do not want to tell her. I am thinking of never telling her. I am already going through so many emotions, that I really do not want to hear anything negative,regardless of who it is from. My husband and friends have been great, but my mothers has never helped in being supportive. Surgery is 8 days away and I need all the positive energy I can get. I really want her support, but I know that it will NEVER happen, even after I loose all the weight she will still find something neg to say. So with all that said should I tell her? Please Help
