When I go out of work for my surgery, am I covered by disability for 4 weeks?

My employers have not taken any steps to obtain disablity papers for me as of yet and have not looked into it, because they feel that it is an elective surgery and should not be covered. I feel this is not fair because don't women elect to get pregnant and go out on disability benefits? Please educate me. Thanks.
