Taking 3 weeks off sick... what to tell colleagues?

They're all lovely but it's one of those places where everyone knows everything about everyone's lives, and what they don't know they fill in with their own wild conspiracies. I am taking 3wks off work for an operation that I don't want to discuss with anyone at work (my boss knows though). I'm a lot younger than most of them so they'd probably be shocked and worried at my being scheduled off work.

Any ideas of a boring excuse for the scheduled time off work that will keep them off my back but without having to fake a life-threatening illness?
No-one is granted 3wks off as annual leave so they'd smell a rat right away. I know I don't legally have to say anything but socially I do. I might say something like women's problems and give them a look that says 'don't ask me any more'
