Have all of the records from the surgery as a part of your package. If it really was something minor it isn't much to worry about. Worst case you may have to wait a few days to get your waiver approved.
I'd had surgeries before I enlisted, the doctor just looked at the records and moved me along.

The Marine Corps is always in need of new recruits so they will do there very best to get you in. If your minor surgery doesn't bother you during physical activities you should be ok. I wouldn't stress over it.
