Short Term Disability while doing pre- op?

Hey guys, I just started me Pre Op diet today and while at work I was so dizzy and shaky I couldn't focus at all. I work with Diabetes patients and thier Insulin Pump Therapy devices, not being focused is not an option for others as well as myself...

So I called my Short Term disability people and asked to move my start date to today and then 2 weeks after surgery ( nov 28th is surgery) ... she said it was fine as long as the MD was ok with it...

I email the MD and will see what he says. I explained it all to him and hopefully he will put in my records that its up to me what I can handle.

has anyone does this before? just curious if your md agreed to it. i dont see how it would hurt him.. plus I will be more successful at home concentrating on changing my life before the surgery and to get my family in order.

not to mention the diarreah that comes with drinking only liquids...TMI i know but its real life stuff here...:-)
