One of my supervisors was discussing my upcoming surgery with another supervisor and one mentioned that since I am having "ELECTIVE" surgery I might not get it approved. I also have a type 3 hiatal hernia which was found in my prep EGD scope. I haven't even got all my prep appointments in nor a scheduled date, possible 2 months away at the earliest. I was asked to send a message to enlighten this other supervisor on the nature of the surgery so they can understand. I call baloney. I did send a message but I gave no details other than I projected a "surgery" in a couple of months and would give specific dates when scheduled. I have over 800 hours of sick leave because I usually take care of appointments and procedures on my day off to avoid harassment of interrogating questions.
