Today, I told my professor that I'll be missing class next week due to upcoming surgery. I asked if I could take the exam that I'd otherwise miss another day. He said no, and that I'd just have to take a failing grade, then wished me luck with the surgery. FML

You should be able to take it early, if nothing else.... definitely talk to your dean

Definitely talk to the dean. You're paying for that class, and that means it's their job to meet you halfway.

Go to the department head near the end of the semester and ply your case. But only if it would make a letter grade difference and you have no more classes with him.

He probably thought you were lying. Bring a note from hospital to prove you weren't.

I agree with the professor, his job is to teach an entire class, not accommodate every single student.

Go over his head. Talk to the head of his department.
