Part of me also wonders if people who elect to have Monday surgeries are in a better socioeconomic place to take more time off to recover.

I've had a bunch of surgeries and I wasn't given much of a choice as to when they were scheduled. These were orthopedic surgeries, but nothing urgent (stuff like a labrum repair or whatever). I was simply told to be at the hospital/surgery center at X time and that was that.
