...Or is there any way that your surgeon or PCP could write a letter to your boss that explains that you need more than a week?

Trying to schedule your surgery around certain dates is certainly an option, but I think you'll find most surgeons give you a "take it or leave it" soonest date. You may have more luck if you try to schedule for a date far in the future. Then your surgeon may be more flexible. In any event, certainly call your surgeon's office and try. What's the worst answer you'll get? No? It's not like they're gonna cancel your surgery.
