Blessed2009 got a reaction from YroftheT2017 in How to use FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act) for work
The FMLA guidelines, which are found at dol.gov, specifically state that cosmetic surgery is not covered. FMLA protects your job; however, your company sick policy may still cover use of paid sick time for time due to surgery.
WLS is not considered elective if you are designated as obese; therefore, should be covered under FMLA.
I'm a Sr HR Manager and am familiar with FMLA.
