Two-week pre-op fast may put me at a bmi <35

I know that I am a good wls candidate since I meet the 35-40 bmi with co-morbidities requirement. My bmi is currently hovering a little above 35 and I was diagnosed with malignant hypertension (the most severe type) six years ago so no problem there. Here's the thing though; my doctor requires a two-week pre-op fast for all patients, and obviously this may put me below a 35 bmi. Is there anyone out there who may have thoughts on this or who's actually been in this situation?
