What do I tell my co-worker and supervisors when I am off for surgery?

I have a question on how or what to tell my co-workers and supervisors, I am not sure that they will understand why I want this surgery and why I need time off work. I don't want to lie to them, but I sure don't want to tell them the real reason that I am having surgery. I know my supervisor will not understand and may not ok my time off work, she is a person that don't like FAT people, she thinks that they can lose weight if they want to, stop eating, will power, she is a good boss, but is skinny and don't understand, and will laught behind your back. I had hernia surgery last year and they didn't get all of them, would it be wrong to tell her that is what I am going to have done, and what will the doctor put on my medical leave report? I don't like the feeling that I have to lie to my employer. But sometimes some things are better not discussed and WLS is one of them....
