I normally am the type to tell everyone my business but after my breast augmentation and all the haters especially from work I decided I do not want anyone at my work to know. If they notice later that's fine but I don't want them to know that's why I needed the time off work when I come back after 2 weeks off. I did tell my HR department that I am having "elective" surgery because I wanted to make sure I am going about this the right way and they told me that since it is surgery even if it's elective that I am still covered by FMLA and to send in the request but I still know how judgemental people can be and I know that if I am granted the 2 weeks off and my coworkers find out the reason that they will talk about me and my supervisor would get mad and start looking for other reasons to get rid of me as has happened in the past. I told her I need time off for surgery and left it at that. For those who have had this done already is it possible to hide it when you want to?
