What’s type of note did your doctor write for your surgery? I need to get some sort of a note to give to work but I really don’t want them knowing that this is an elective surgery or they might deny my leave. So what did your doctor write for you?
My surgeon just said that I would be out of action from date to date.
There was no mention of what procedure I was having and nothing on her letterhead to indicate anything. She does several different types surgery so if someone really wanted to goggle her they would still not be able to tell.
My doctor just wrote a note saying I was having surgery and would be permitted to return to work at a certain date. I too didn't want work to know what kind of surgery I had. And I think it's against the law for them to ask, you know hippa and all that privacy stuff.
I was able to use FMLA leave for work, but they used my built up sick time I had. I told my work what I was having done as it didn't bother me to let them know. I was back at work in 2 weeks and probably could have gone back in a week. Good luck to you on your journey!!
