Don't be afraid to tell your employer. I work for a large vitamin company (SWANSON HEALTH PRODUCTS) and they are very supportive. Even after all the complications I have had. Have you ever heard of the FAMILY MEDICAL LEAVE ACT? I am sure your employer has. It allows at least 10-12 weeks of medical leave from you job. Your employer has to hold your job open for you. Ask your Human Resource Department about it. You will have to have your doctor fill out some paper work for you regarding your surgery. DO NOT FELL BAD about telling employer about your upcoming surgery, he/she may surprise you and be very understanding. They may also look at it as you being a very courteous employee by telling them. GOOD LUCK. FROM NAENAE
