More details to this question:
Their saying if I have the surgery then their going to terminate me! They said I've not worked 12 months and their acting like it's a family medical leave. But it's like a emergency surgery cause both my doctors said I won't get better until I get it done! What am I supposed to do?

There is no law, other than the FMLA, that requires an employer to allow you time off due to surgery.
