should a lightweight try to loose weight before surgery?

I am 237 pounds now and have been taking vitamins and protein shakes in anticipation of an early July surgery date. I am also exercising and trying to get in water on a regular basis. At this point, would trying to loose weight help or hurt my WLS?
