Maybe the distinction needs to be made between someone who is asking just to make a compliment/be polite (or is just nosy) and someone is asking because they need to lose weight.
So if someone says "wow, you look great! I wish I could lose weight like that" then I think it is probably appropriate for the person to explain about the surgery. In my opinion it would be disingenuous to say that it was all due to diet and exercise. On the other hand, to someone who just says "did you lose weight?", I would not feel that it is necessary/appropriate to reveal the surgery. Just my opinion.
