    Default Doctor’s Note?

    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?

    I didn't need a note.

    Are you hourly or salaried? Are you hoping to get paid time off? Sick time?
    Are you taking leave you EARNED? If so, do you really need a reason to take leave?

    I just started a week ago so I have nothing earned. I do not need it as paid time off. I need to do it soon or have to wait until after Xmas due to a leave freeze between thanksgiving and Xmas. I work retail.

    Where are you on your journey? I know it varies from doctor to doctor, but my first visit with my doc was about 5 months ago. Are you realistically thinking you can have it done before thanksgiving?
