If I lose weight will can I still get the surgery?

I have Tufts so Im a month away from the 6 month "I can change" program. I can get my surgery in October, however my doctor recently put me on medication for ADD and the biggest side effect is weight loss. Im very concerned I wont qualify for the surgery If I lose anymore weight. I was supposed to lose 8 pounds before surgery but since starting the medication Ive lost another 4 pounds,I barely make the 40.0 BMI. Im afraid to take the medicine in case I lose more and wont qualify. Is there anyway the insurance will take into consideration that I medically need to be on this medication? I would be so upset if I went through this 6 month program and find out I cant get it because Im a couple pounds under :( Anyone have any suggestions????
