What can I tell my co-workers?

I don't want to tell my co-workers that I'm having WLS. I work in a small government office with some really wonderful, caring people that have really big mouths. People will come up to me (post op) and ask me, in detail, what type of surgery I had. I don't want to be 'mysterious' - I just don't think I want to deal with the judgments and gossip (probably no one cares & its all in my imagination, STILL!) What kind of 'stomach surgery' would require someone to be off of work for 4-6 weeks? Thanks for all your help, this is really the best site and best support group I have ever had anywhere!
