Because you have only worked for 4 months they aren't bound by FMLA, depending on your state there may be other types of leave you could benefit from. I suggest you check with your local DOL or an employment attorney for more information.

I went to tell my supervisor on the day that I found out, which was 11-17-10 that they have scheduled me for surgery for 12-8-10 and that I would only try to take 2 weeks off. She informed me that she didn't think that she could cover my position for the surgery and that she was sorry. She said she would see what she could do, but I would probably need to reshedule when she could find someone to cover me. Is that legal?

The Fair Labor Standards Act covers overtime regulations, you should search further into that. It states that overtime is based on a 7 day work week, with some states having daily overtime if you work more than a certain number of hours. Some employers don't count time off of less than a week as FMLA. The reason you cant fin the answer is because it is a FLSA question not an FMLA question.
