Question Can you loose too much before surgery?

I'm just starting out in this process. I weigh 274 right now and my BMI is 42. The Dr's office said I probably won't have to do the 6 month diet- the insurance doesn't specify how long the diet has to be. But if I do end up having to be on the diet, what if I lose enough for my BMI to go below 40? Does that automatically disqualify me???
And for the 2 week (or however long it is) liquid diet before surgery, can you lose too much and disqualify yourself at the last minute? That would suck!
