Theoretically, this should work, but since some TSA agents take the rules into their own hands, I don't know. Some of them pretend to know more about medical conditions than doctors.
Make sure your note specifically says that no one should touch the incision site and that the back brace will have to stay on the whole time. Have your doctor's office's phone number with you, just in case.
