Should I tell employer?

My surgery is scheduled in May. I have just started a new position but I have been with the company for three years. The company frowns :( on people being out for being sick. I am going to use vacation time but am wondering should I let them know now or wait until its closer or not tell them. The last time I was out in 5 days and was a lot bigger with more health problems
