    I didn’t mention I am not telling any of my colleagues about this so I need an excuse why I can’t heavy lift/move equipments for 6 weeks without them knowing I’ve had a BA.

    Hopefully some do you have been in a similar boat and can help me

    carly, i’m in the army and dont want anyone in my work to know. i’ve just told them i’m having an operation and thats all. if anyone asks more indepth i’ll say it was to do with my stomach/throat. at the end of the day your medical information is confidential. dont feel pressured to tell them if you dont feel comfortable.

    I have them. A letter that the nurse did for me and then an extra bit saying the 2 weeks is my annual leave etc. I went into work the next day after giving the letter being asked what procedure it is etc… I said do I have to say it and she yes it’s just so we know how to adapt your recovery needs and will just stay between my manager and matron, so I had to tell her in the end. I work in a hospital as a nurse

    I told my female colleagues, for the men however, bruised ribs. Takes a few weeks to fully recovered and no heavy lifting. Perfect cover story 🙂 X
