The surgery is not urgent and I want to get it done but I will need three weeks off work. Would I be allowed this right after I finish training?
If there are no adverse consequences from deferring the surgery the potential seniority loss from deferring the class date would be foolish. If you are absolutely sure (how could you be) that the operation and recovery can be completed before you start then perhaps that is reasonable but any operation could affect your medical certification and potentially cause you to be without one for some weeks or months.
