how long does it usually take to come back from a torn MCL........and do you always have to have surgery?

MCL injuries hardly never have to have surgery. And for the amount of time it takes to come back depends if it is a Grade 1 (least severe) Grade 2 Grade 3 (most severe). Anywhere from 2-4 weeks depending how aggressive the Athletic Trainer treats this injury

i just did this and am still recovering from it. mine was a grade 3(completely torn) and ill be back the third week after hurting it (i missed 2 weeks/games). i was really aggresive with my rehab so if you do that u shouldnt miss anymore than 2 games.

 

and on the surgery part of it, if you rehab to get back into playing shape, it should heal to 100% and you wont need surgery. but if you slack or hurt it again surgery is a reasonable suggestion.
