Can anyone help me with my pre-op question about weight?

I am scheduled for my surgery on Thursday, Nov.30. I was only told I needed to loose 12 or 13lbs (that is my 5%). Well the last time I had a weighed in I had lost 21. Since then (9 days ago) I have put on 3 lbs. It's been very hard to go through Thanksgiving and eat very little. I've been struggling. My concern is because I gained 3 lbs they wont do the surgery I have scheduled less than a week away. I am going to try to loose the extra 3 pounds but if I can't will they still do the surgery? Has anyone gone through this and know the answer? Any information will help, Thanks...Sonja
