What to tell people at work re: time off/after surgery?

Hi everyone, I work for an employer who is "self-insured." I worked very hard to get my precertification for lap. rny before the company's policy adopted and exclusion. My co-workers here in the office watch other people's health care appointments like hawks. They make comments like, "her doctor visit is coming out of our raises and year-end bonuses." I have no doubt they will feel the same way about surgery. I just don't want to tell them what procedure I've had, why I've had it, and so forth. Any suggestions?
