I'm frequently surprised at medical conditions that the FAA will waiver to allow an airman to get back to work. That said, the answer you want is from the FAA and not an anonymous post on an Internet forum.
I'd start by calling an AME and talk with them about the condition and start laying the groundwork for the process which would include at a minimum the surgeon, the AME, and the FAA. Good luck!

Calling the FAA may not produce a straight answer, or even a percentage- chance kind of answer. They will likely refer you to your AME, who is obligated to put the FAA's interests before yours.
There are a number of private consultants (usually ex-AME's who no longer have a duty to the FAA). Here's a link to one such company:
