Does anybody know if you have to pass a medical for a recreational pilot's liscense?

Per the FAA:

Pilot Medical Certification-Frequently Asked Questions

Who must hold a Medical Certificate?
Any person exercising the privileges of any of the following certificates: airline transport pilot certificate, commercial pilot certificate, private pilot certificate, recreational pilot certificate, flight instructor certificate (when acting as pilot in command if serving as a required pilot flight crewmember), flight engineer certificate, flight navigator certificate, or student pilot certificate. Except for a person employed by the FAA, a branch of the military services or the Coast Guard, a person acting as an air traffic control tower operator also must hold a medical certificate

Looks like you need at least a Class III.

[My Flight Surgeon]

Yes you do. The only thing you do not need a certiificate for is sport pilot. If your medical has been denied, you cannot use your driver's license to self-certify.
