In general California State Disability provides a year of benefits.
There is no notice requirement to receive State Disability benefits. There also is no specific rule about how far in advance you need to notify your employer about your surgery.
But I would advise notifying your employer in advance once you have a definite surgery date. I would also advice being fairly open about the procedure you are having. People will know what is going on when you lose weight, not telling them what exactly is going on will just lead to increased curiosity and suspicions. One thing I have learned as a lawyer is, often the best lie is the truth.
