I just need to have my endoscopy which is scheduled for June 13th to complete all of my requierements to submit everything to my insurance. I have been unemployed for about 1yr and just yesterday I was hired for a new job to start this coming monday. I need some feedback from you guys. #1. Should I tell my new employer about the surgery and risk being let go. #2. Should I just keep quiet about it and try and have surgery on a Friday and return to work on Monday. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. This job pays very well if not I would just not worry. Thanks in advance guys.

Once you start you are covered. Is your surgery scheduled after the start date? If so' date=' have your surgeon sign it. You can get the forms from HR[/quote']

My surgery is definitely going to be after I start since my orientation is tomorrow and Tuesday. Wednesday will be my first day at work. With the FMLA don't I have to be employed with that company for 12 months in order to be covered?

Yes 12 months or 1500 hours to qualify for FMLA.

Yes this is why I couldn't use it. I started my job this past December so for the time off I'm using my vacation time and nearly using all of it sadly. After I return to work next Monday (the 10th) I'll only have like 3 days of vacation left.

It's worth it though.

FMLA doesn't apply to new employees. You have to be on a job 12 months and worked at least 1250 hours during those 12 months.

I am in the same situation. I have to push back my surgery to August (I started the pre-op process in November) . If it's a good job, wait. The current job market is awful.

Finally someone whos in same position I'm in. Did you tell your employer or? I was talking to the company president and told him I needed off on the 13th for an endoscopy. He asked what was wrong? I told him its for a surgery that I my doc says I need. He said no problem. Just told me to tell my manager of any other arrangements I needed and they would work around it. I don't think he knows its bypass though. I was thinking of waiting the 90 days also.

I recommend waiting at least the ninety days. I waited a while before telling my employer. I guess it depends on the job. Is this your ideal job? Are you willing to risk it?

I would have to wait til sept. I waited this long another 90 days prob wont hurt.

I am in a position where I just couldn't risk it. You have to be so careful nowadays.

I will just keep doing my visits to nutritionist, etc and by then I will have lost more pre surgery weight. I had my first visit with surgeons office in beginning of May. They said my PCPs weighins for last 6 months would be sufficient with 3 additional visits to them. Endoscopy is last if pre surgery requierements. The wait will just make my case stronger for insurance.
