Bad timing here!! I fell out of my bathtub on 4/23 and twisted my knee REALLY bad...

I have torn ligaments and possible torn cartilige. If the latter is true, I may be facing surgery for that. My WLS date is 5/23. As I hit the floor I literally thought, "Oh no, what will this do to my surgery date?" Do you guys think this will mess me up? Does anyone know if a torn cartilige surgery can wait until after my WLS? I can walk a little better each day. I use a cane for stability, and I wear a bandage. It just feels as though it's popping out of joint. I have an MRI for 5/4, and go to my ortho doctor again on May 10 to here the results. What do you guys think? They would have to really do some convincing to make me postpone my WLS. MAYBE if it means amputation! ! lol. Does it sound like my WLS date will be ok? HELP! ! I'm really stressing over this one.
