Crossfit Mom in Need of TT to Repair Severe Diastasis Recti - Ohio

UPDATED FROM Crossfitluxe

Will short term disability cover time off work for a Tummy Tuck and Hernia repair?

Crossfitluxe
Does anyone have knowledge of whether or not short term disability will cover 2 weeks paid time off work for a Tummy Tuck, muscle and umbilical hernia repair? My job only allows 5 days paid sick so anything beyond that goes into disability benefits. I know elective (cosmetic) surgery would typically not be covered but I'm wondering because of the hernia being repaired at the same time what is the likelihood of approval?

The worst that could happen is it gets turned down. What about FMLA? Is that the same thing you're talking about? It only applies to employers with more than 50 employees though.

No, FMLA will not cover for sure. Short term disability and FMLA are different but both related to time off work.

Supplements

My doctor instructed me to start these supplements 14 days before surgery. They help reduce brushing, nausea, swelling, bleeding and promote a speedier recovery. I paid approximately $40 for the two supplements. Well worth it if they get me healed faster!

I had an appt today with my surgeon. I've been online a lot and had more questions and quite honestly I needed her to basically tell me again that all would be well and to calm the hell down! LOL ....I feel so much better meeting with her today! We finalized my prescriptions and I have my follow up spots scheduled. Oh and I remembered to snap a pic. I can't wait to see my after!!
