Afraid to lose to much weight in preop diet and be disqualified

Hi, My surgery is January 8th and I'm currently on a low carb, low fat, preop diet. Plus I'll need to do one day clear liquid on day before surgery. If I lose more than a few more pounds my BMI will fall below 40. Will they disqualify me if my BMI falls below 40 right before surgery? Any suggestions on shrinking liver without losing anymore weight?

    I had this very same fear. The approval and surgeon go by your starting weight at the initial consultation!!!
