Question for lightweights

I have a BMI of 43. My surgery is not for 6 months, during which time I will be exercising. Losing 20 pounds will lower by BMI to 39.9. My question is this: Will I no longer qualify for surgery if my BMI is this low at surgery time? I've got 6 months to wait, I want to start getting healthy, but if I've got to sit around and stay as fat as I am, I will. It's discouraging, though. Thanks!
