CO-Workers knowing you business

I plan on having surgery in October and I will be using FMLA for the time I’m out of work. I’m all stressed about turning in the paperwork to my boss. I know it won’t stay private. I just don’t want to deal with their judgements. How do you deal with this?

I was extremely open with my boss and co-workers. However, this was my choice.

All the formal stuff was handled confidentially between myself and our HR team. I’m pretty sure I just informed them that I needed time off for a medical procedure and we went from there. I don’t think it specified on the disability or FMLA paperwork that the surgeon filled out the exact procedure, just how the procedure would limit me and prevent me from working for X amount of days.

There was no requirement for me to inform my boss or co-workers, but I elected to due to how tight I am with most of them.
