I'm not sure if I'm comfortable with ppl at work know my business. I already regret telling a couple ppl . Should I care what ppl think?

You should NOT care what ppl think-- but that doesn't mean you have to tell everyone either. Do whatever is best for YOU.

I chose to tell everyone I work with.. I've gotten amazing support, but not everyone is so lucky. Just be prepared if you want to share- for the good & ugly comments.

I just told my employer I am halving surgery and will require a few weeks off.

I didn't tell my co-workers at all. All I said was that I was gastro-intestinal related surgery & I needed some time off. Some people wanted more information & I just said, "it's personal."

I told my employer I needed 2 weeks off for medical reasons. I do not work full time so there was no paper work to fill out as I did not collect disability or FMLA. It is none of thier business and you are not obligated to tell them. If disability or FMLA papers need to completed your HR dept is required by law to keep your confidence.
