Does wl prior to surgery affect total wl or recovery?

I am pre-op and my goal is to lose 50 pounds prior to surgery which is about 8 months away. I am down 28 so far. Does losing prior to surgery speed up or slow down weight loss after surgery? I also plan to begin exercising because I have heard it helps speed up recovery. Is that true? One final concern is insurance approval. Has anyone had an experience where they lost some weight and the ins. co decided surgery was unnecessary? I am very concerned about these issues so any advice would be extremely helpful. Thanks in advance! Warmest wishes to all:-)
