Since I will be having the sleeve and the hernia repair, I decided I should use the two weeks suggested for my recovery. This means being off work. Since I live in Florida there is the Florida Medical Leave Act. It's my understanding that this helps you secure your job while your out for sugery. Does anyone live in Florida and use the Florida Medical Leave Act for time off from work?

I'm just worried their are loop holes I should know about.

I live in Florida, but I didn't use the leave act, so I don't much about loopholes. I do know that when my husband was being treated for a brain tumor, he was out of work for a long time and we were told to fill out all that paperwork to protect his job. Also, I'm a mental health counselor, and I have filled out forms for people who were in treatment facilities for months, and their job were protected.

Thanks Katt -- I am just trying to be as perpared as possible.
