I had this problem last summer but it was for a different surgery (to repair an abdominal scar with 2 incisional hernias). I was only on oral meds at that time. I stressed out, gained some weight, didn't work on the diabetes and ended up cancelling the surgery my self.

Since then I started on insulin (in Jan) and within 6 weeks time I dropped from the 8's down to 6.1. If you aren't on insulin, maybe you might consider taking it in order to get your surgery.
