@@Kyn13 sounds like you have it handled well on your end. Nurses take the brunt of a lot and it also impact their quality and dedication when treated poorly. We all suffer. I hope for the best for your recovery and return.

It is very good advice to everyone to be careful with Fmla as does not always apply to you/your employer, not to mention your state employment issues! If anyone planning far out and have opportunity it is a good time to consider short term disability coverage if you can!

Yeah I have been debating on doing the std, but it's only 40% of my income and doesn't kick in till day 15 of leave, so I've been wondering if it's worth it for one partial paycheck to deal with all the paperwork.

I'm sure she thinks I should just postpone it till better time for her.

I've never worked in the field, but, given the nature of a hospital, it seems that there will be no "better time" for the hospital or for her.

You are absolutely right! There's never a time when you are fully staffed and it's convenient for someone to take time off!

Having worked in hospitals, the only "better time" will be after she's been there a year and has FMLA protection. In relation to staffing and the manager putting herself in a bind, it will never get better.

Is this really elective surgery? I have a diagnosis of "morbid obesity." That doesn't sound like anything is elective. Does your insurance consider it elective?

For most the medical necessity is the benefits and success outweighs risk or chronic condition being unaddressed. It is elective in that you have other options to "cure" morbid obesity this is one that can be covered by insurance like some of the obesity meds.

I am a regional HR Manager, obesity is covered under ADA, you don't have to have the 1250 hours or be working for a year to be able to take a leave for an ADA related illness/procedure. She really doesn't want to mess with ADA. Go there tell her you want to take time off for the ADA related illness, she will be forced to enter into what is called an interactive process with you and your time off will be granted.

Totally unrelated to BWLS, Andreaj, but do you know how FMLA comes down on pregnancy with relation to the 1250 hours/working for a year? My husband is a department chair (at a college) and is caught in the middle between one of his faculty and his associate dean. He's been trying to get a clear answer but of course the people who understand these regulations are the ones trying to deny coverage to his faculty member. All he needs is a clear explanation, but is having trouble getting such!

Fmla is the same no matter what in terms of the eligibility qualifiers; however there is a Pregancy discrimination act that makes some pregnancy related conditions fall under the ADAA, qualifying for this entitles pregnant women some consideration as well if not eligible for FMLA

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
