Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

I have to go in for surgery and I have enough sick pay to cover my time I will be out of the office, but my employer is forcing me to sign up for FMLA. They say if I don't sign up and my surgery turns for the worst, and I need more time off, I will be terminated. Is this lawful?

on the part of your employer.
