have trouble walking, how will it effect me after surgery?

I have a problem with my leg. It sometimes/most of the time refuses to straighten so i can get into a walking position. I have to use crutches to get around on and at home i move around in a office chair. my Drs. have said this will not get better till i lose some serious weight. so my question is how will this effect me after surgery when you are told to walk . walk. walk. I can walk if my leg allows me to straighten it. could i ise crutches after surgery to do the walking or would that cause damage to the incision?
