I have what seems like an unusual concern. I'm all ready to set my date for VSG and I have a great doctor, just waiting for my insurance authorization, which I hope will come soon. Then I am going to tell my work that I need the time off. I work for a small start up, we just hired an HR person! I'm more worried about getting the time off, and I don't want to disclose what surgery I am having, than anything else. We only get 3 weeks PTO a year and I have taken one. I really hope it will be no big deal, but now I wish I worked for a more normal, large corporation.
