And it might affect your temporary disability status if the only reason you are on TTD is for the condition requiring the surgery. Postponing the surgery means prolonging temporary disability, and unless you are TTD for more than that reason the doctor may just P&S you with a provision for surgery in the future when you want it. And waiting may result in further utilization review should your condition change in any way, and a conflicting UR opinion on whether the surgery is necessary or not.
Now, I don't have all the little details of your case to make a true prediction here - I'm just sharing a few things that you should consider and look into before you make a final decision to postpone the surgery longer than this first time.

But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life." Alfred D'Souza
