How do you keep your loved ones from telling everyone??!!

My finacee and I were talking the other day about how things are going to go and what days he may need to take off work when I have my surgery. Well he mentioned that he had already told a few people at work about it. I was kind of shocked and upset. I told him right away that I felt that people that don't really know about the surgery or that don't understand about the surgery, really don't understand and usually think bad things of it. I just fear that if he needs time off or what not that people won't be very sympathetic or understanding and just be like "yeah his fiancee went to get the fat surgery." You all know how stupid people can be. Also when he mentioned that he told people, I had a problem with people knowing. Granted I don't know these people, it still made me feel funny. I know he is excited and happy for me, it's just that I don't even tell everyone yet. He even asked if he could tell his Dad (who I don't want him to know, atleast not yet) and I said no, and he was disapointed. After I have the surgery I may tell everyone I meet, but for right now I don't want everyone to know and I feel it is my choice of who knows and who doesn't. Should I say anything to him? How do you get people to keep their mouths shut. I have that kind of family, they all have big mouth syndrome. It's because of that I haven't even told all of them!!! I know you can all understand so please give me some advice. Thank you!
