You may even need to look into the option of surgery outside of UK/EU.
Right now there is so much different information stirred up that you can’t see the first through the trees.
You can contact the FAA medical branch in Oklahoma yourself.
Here is something that may or may not have been mentioned before.
Certain surgeries will prevent you from being able to get a UK/EU medical but it will still allow you a FAA Class 1 medical.
Think LASIK and similar.
It is very well possible you’ll be able to hold an FAA Class 1 after recovery.
Look into that first before you do anything else.
Not even your PPL in Florida as that may prevent you from getting an F1 visa
