Having surgery in Mexico and will if I turn in my FMLA forms, I'll need to doctor's release to return to work.

Has anyone been able to obtain this form from your doctor in Mexico?

Please advise!!! Thank you.

You should probably talk to your PCP about after care when you return home. He/she should be able to provide the form for you.

Just contact your surgeon and find out how they deal with it.

I had to have my PCP fill out my short term disability paperwork and subsequent work release forms. My PCP had no problems at all doing them for me.

Texas, you're lucky. I've seen more than one person on these boards say that their PCP wouldn't support them if they went to Mexico for the surgery. Thank GOD, mine is so supportive he's talking (joking) about going with me! But I'm pretty sure that she should be able to get release papers from her surgeon.

I go to see my PCP March 21st I'll see what she says then - I don't feel like she will be supportive but it is what it is....if she isn't supportive after I recover I think it may be time to find a new PCP. I wish medicine in grow US would be a bit more flexible and understanding.
