How much notice should I give my boss for surgery? Not officially scheduled, ~6 months away.

I recently had my consultation with a surgeon. Now, besides insurance approval, my main concern is when to tell my boss. I’m a pretty junior employee (mid-20s) at a startup. I’ve been working here ~10 months and haven’t taken more than a week off. My surgery is planned for 6-7 months from now, so is two months before surgery a good timeframe to give my (male) bosses advance warning? I’d like to give enough notice to work out logistics but not to where it could impact my career negatively.
