Honestly, just say that you had to have a procedure done that you'd rather not talk about. I work in the medical field too and I have never had anyone push after saying that.

Vasectomy, cord lipoma removal.Where I am, hernia repair earns you 4-6 weeks of light duties.
It does if they call my doctor to ask. Hippa protect any thing about my health being shared
HIPAA says your doctor can't disclose that info. It doesn't say they can't call and ask.I can call and ask your doctor. If he tells me, he's committed a HIPAA violation. Not me.HIPAA has nothing to do with OP's responsibility (or lack thereof) to disclose medical information to his employer. Neither are HIPAA bound entities.
