1. Did advise them of the surgery? 2. If given bed rest/quarters/etc. did you drop it off at the unit before heading home? 3. If you didn't do these things then you were unprofessional. If you are not present then they are not BULLYING you- look the definition up. If your ducks are in a row, then talk to the NCO and his boss about it.

They knew about the surgery I turned it in prior to the week of surgery. It’s more of them being young leadership and them saying distasteful things

With all due respect even if she forgot her paperwork yes it makes her look unprofessional they can still handle it with a bit more tact. Yes she is a lower rank but I know Sergeants and when I talked to the Commander even he showed a bit of respect just as a fellow human being.

If you are on quarters after having surgery then you cannot be forced to come to work unless the company commander wants to answer some hard questions from your treating physician. You may be required to report to your supervisor or commander to give them the quarters paperwork even if they knew you were having surgery. They have to have the paperwork to back up you being absent from duty.
Saying your leadership team are being bullies means nothing without examples of how they are being bullies. If you simply have your feelings hurt because you are being told to something you don't want to do doesn't make them bullies it makes them leaders for holding you accountable. Without further information, I am going to take a guess that this is simply someone who didn't get exactly what they wanted and now are crying about it.

It’s not so much being bullied. Beside trying to be funny and make me try to come in. It’s a whole back story. I wouldn’t say bully. But they do have the mentality of high schoolers and do things to be petty. Besides doing what needs to be done. We are all on the same page when it comes to work.

I think we are missing a simple fix, after a surgery why did none of her COC/NCOSC not visit her? If she had any paperwork it could have been rectified at that time. If no paperwork was present the commander/1SG could have made a decision on how to evaluate a good day to return back to work. I.E. the following day. Even a procedure as simple as a vasectomy or tooth removal gives at least one day off.

Bullseye! If I had a Marine in hospital he got regular command visits as long as he was in hospital. No less than every two days. Same thing if confined to quarters, on base or off. If living in the BEQ no less than sometime around morning quarters formation, noon meal, and evening colors.
