I got my family doctor to fill out the forms before I went off as they are also aware I am having the surgery. However, you can also contact the NP at the hospital and they will fill them out for you.

Everywhere is different in terms of employer demands. My employer was explicit in filing out the dr's form AFTER surgery. So since our clinic (guelph) wants you to set up a family dr appointment within 2 weeks of your surgery I have already booked mine and so will take my forms to be filled out by them). In the meantime the company is paying me until the forms arrive and then will switch me to Short Term Disability.
