I'm considering sleeve surgery this summer. Has anyone from the U.S. needed to have a medical leave approved through work while having a doctor/procedure outside of the U.S.? I'm thinking three weeks off since I have to move and lift more than 50lbs on occasion.
If you have needed to apply for FMLA, were there any issues since the procedure was outside of the U.S.?

Hi all,
