What do I tell my boss?

What do I tell my boss? I am a nurse where I will be having my surgery. I don't want to lie to her, but I don't think she will be supportive (she has her own weight issues). I can't exactly make up a different surgery, and as nurses we are naturally nosey about everyone's health. Even if I do make something up, I know she would look up my record in the computer, Ive seen her do it with others. I am afraid if I tell her the truth she may deny my use of sick time for what she may see as an elective surgery and I dont have enough vacation time to cover post-op recovery.
