Welcome to the forum. :hi:

I assumed "xxx" refers to the name of the clinic/hospital rather than the time. The time would be unnecessary as you have already said "Tomorrow morning". Remember that we don't put a space before a comma but we do put a space after one. Having said that, I would replace the comma with "and".

Tomorrow morning, my wife is having/will have an operation at [name of clinic] and I need to pick her up around lunchtime. Therefore, I would be very grateful if you would allow me to work from home tomorrow.
Thank you.

I'm sorry, but it sounds too formal to me, doesn't it?
