No; I actually ended up going to a different surgeon. My hernia was really small and the first surgeon was wanting to do laparoscopic with mesh, but there was no need given how small it was. I went to a different doctor and he did an open repair and it was literally 2 stitches. I’m 1 week post op and my lifting restrictions end in 2 weeks.

Should have clarified. All of my clinicals right now are purely shadowing. I’ve already had the surgery and thankfully I did it during a gap in my clinicals, so my school was only moderately difficult about it.

Hi. I am currently in an accelerated nursing program and found out that I have an umbilical hernia. I am needing to have surgery, so I planned it for a little break in school. My lifting restriction will be 10 pounds for first 3 weeks, 20 pounds for next 3, and 40 for the following 3 weeks. My school is trying to tell me that I’m not allowed on the clinical premises even if my only restriction is lifting. Therefore, I’m now having to postpone my surgery and risk injuring myself worse because my school refuses to cooperate with me for the literally 2 weeks of clinicals that I would need to attend without lifting. Is this legal? I’m so worried about this because I’m in horrible pain, but there’s literally nothing I can do apparently.
