I have had two children and have extra skin that I would like removed. I do not have a hernia or a medical necessity for the surgery. My main concern is that my job would not be protected while in recovery. Thanks for any input.

Answer: Job protectiondue to disability after tummy tuck If your job is not labor intensive , you should be able to return to your work after 10 days providing you restrict yourself to do only light activities. Your surgeon would provide you with a disability statement, it is not necessary to mention the type of surgery he/she has performed. This medical statement should be considered a medical disability certificate , sufficient enough tp protect your job.

Answer: FMLA after tt I have had this issue with patients before. I don't "cheat" or "lie" to patients or on these forms.To my understanding, the FMLA doesn't and can't discriminate elective vs emergent or necessary surgery. For example, what if you need a breast biopsy or uterine ablation, and there is no immediate need for the surgery?You will need time off. I work with the patient with the forms. I don't specify exactly what was done (not a fib), and we have never had an issue. I also advise to check with your HR dept.sek
