Be very careful when talking to the airlines. Set up wheelchair assistance in advance. I've seen several people who have tried to talk their way into a free upgrade or other consideration by saying, "I just had surgery and I need help." The answer to that will be, "we cannot let you on the airplane without a release from the doctor saying you are fit to fly."
