airholic,
No one has actually addressed your problem. The way I see it you have 3 choices.
1. Appeal the CASA decision to place a restriction on your medical to the AAT: time consuming and maybe at some financial cost and may not be successful.
2. Find a new job or conduct your aviation in compliance with your medical certificate
3. Have the kidney stone problem by your doctor at your insistence. After all you doctor works for you.

Having things done while on leave and not telling CASA/DAME is all well and good. But if you get found out, you're stuffed.
Take note of this question, asked on each Medical Renewal... have you had any procedures since your last medical.
You're skating on thin ice if you lie on an official document.
Over 35 years or so, I've had GPs, DAMEs, and GPs that are DAMEs. It's never been a problem. In fact, I think it can be beneficial!
I've had several issues with medical renewals. It all gets sorted each time. I have many friends who have Medicals that are renewable by CASA ONLY. It never seems to be a problem!
You guys need to relax and forget about the boogey man!
