I have a necessary surgery that needs me to be on 6 to 8 weeks short term disability leave. Would that put me at risk for layoff after I return from medical leave?

They're gonna do what they wanna do, regardless.
So make sure that you especially do what you NEED to do.
You have the health coverage now to get this necessary surgery done, so definitely do it.
Get approved for your disability, and be in a calm and positive mindset when going through the surgery and recovery time.
Workers are always at risk for layoff, and often there's no logic or particular reasoning behind who they choose to let go, the company is just laser focused on the $. It's also completely out of your hands, regarding when they lay people off and why, so just let it go, and take care of what you need to do for yourself.
