my first surgery was unexpected and the only thing that saved me was the fact that I had a good size cushion in my bank account.My second surgery I was able to plan ahead. Two things that I did was I got my mortgage paid a month ahead before my surgery date and also paid a 6 month block of my car insurance which gave me one less bill to have to worry about while I was out of work.
Not sure where you are from but I live in New York State and our short term disability payments max out at $170 per week, which lets face it doesn't pay much!
