Yet another medical question

I believe the way it works is, you go in for your medical and mark down
that you've had surgery. The AME rejects your medical and it goes to
the FAA. The FAA sends you a list of things to provide from your Dr to
show you fully recovered from the surgery. Then you get an issuance.

AME's can't issue a medical if you already have all that information
right there?

There is a large list of items that prevent the AME from giving you a
medical without special authorization from the FAA. I believe any type
of surgery in which you are put under qualifies. However, the next time
you go in, as long as nothing has changed, he can issue it.

I don't think so based on my having passed Class 2 after neck surgery
and again after shoulder surgery.
