Did I make the right decision/why don't they understand?

As I posted before, My employer did not want to let me off for the surgery because I didn't accrue enough time and because there are only two people in my department and the other person is on medical leave. I was debating whether I should take off for the surgery w/o pay, and RISK loosing my job, or if I should stay, and be miserable for a couple of months when I have already been approved and have a date. I decided to take the RISK of loosing my job and I'm getting a lot of feed back from people stating that I made a bad decision. Some people was like, "what harm would it do you, to wait a couple of months". They don't understand my situation, I am morbidly obese. I can't even go grocery shopping with my husband without running to the car to sit down because of all of this excess weight on my back. Why can't they understand? If I didn't need this surgery, I wouldn't have been approved in 3 days, or at all for that fact.
