Short term disability through work for PS time off?

I'm curious if anyone did short term disability through their job to cover their time off for surgery.  My office is pretty lenient on that sort of thing, if it's for a surgery, but I was curious if anyone had any issues, especially those who went out of the country for surgery.  I just can't afford to go 6 weeks without any money coming in.

my job did give me short term disability, so i get 66% of my usual paycheck

I got short term disability for 4 weeks w/ the possiblility of extending it after they speak w/ my dr. after my first follow-up appt. and possibly extend it for 6 weeks. I get paid 100% for the full time I'm off.

I got short term dissability pay.  I was off 3 weeks from work.  No problems.  It does take a while for the check to come in.  I was back at work before i saw that money.  I planned ahead.  good Luck.

Were any of your procedures covered by your health insurance? I am afraid that since mine is purely cosmetic, STD won't pay. It would be nice because I also get 100% if approved!

I had no problem at all....... actually got a check within the first week I was out.
