Should I tell my doctor I got gastric sleeve?

I plan on going to Mexico to have it done (BMi is too low for insurance) when I come back to the states, when I see my doctor-even if it's just a check up. Should I even tell him if? I just have a feelings he's going to give me a good tongue lashing about it (in the most clinical and professional way possible, or he may just tell me I'm an idiot and could have died over there) it would be out of concern but I don't want him to judge me. Does he REALLY need to know if I'm fine?
