NBR: need help lying

I posted this on 0-6 but no one helped... =(
DH is having weight loss surgery in a few weeks, Monday he will have the surgery, and will be released Tuesday, or Wednesday... so, I'll have to take time off work.. but, boss is a friend of ours and DH doesn't want ANYONE to know he is doing this...
Long story short, I warned boss that DH was going to have a surgery on X date, and told him, I don't want to talk about the details. He pushed the issue, and I said, If I talk about it I'll cry, so don't make me tell you... Should I think of a lie, or just stick to my guns and tell him nothing. I know he will KEEP pushing the issue.
The reason it's even an issue is because I have no vacation or sick leave left, and it's a big deal to miss time when your out of both (had DS and used it all up.)
Any advice would be awsome!

I'd stick with what you've already said, that your DH is having surgery and you need to be out for a few days. Assuming that your boss is ok with letting you have the unpaid time, he really shouldn't push the issue of what type of surgery. GL!

Could you just tell him that "I'm sorry . This is a private medical matter and i really don't want to discuss it." He really needs to get off your back.
Or, if you want to lie- say it's a really in-depth colonoscopy b/c he's been having major bowel issues. I mean, who really wants to hear about that?!
(That is supposed to just be funny and in no way offensive.)
Don't lie, but don't give details either. Stick with the fact that it is extremely personal and that you are not discussing the details with anyone outside of your marital relationship - that should shut him up. You don't want to lie and then be discovered down the road (there will probably be speculation that he had the surgery if there is a dramatic weight loss).
GL and a speedy recovery to your DH.
No! Do not cave to pressure of explaining (real or not) your husband's medical procedure. Friend or not, it is none of their business! Stick to your guns.
If he's a friend he shouldn't keep pushing. I think I would have to put my foot down and straight up tell him it's none of his business since you have already told him that he will make you cry. Uggghhhh...I hate nosey people.
