PLEASE HELP!!! I had my blood work done...

and my thyroid came back elevated at 10.52 which puts me at "subclinical hypothyroid" diagnosis. I have a few questions: I have a few slight symptoms--should I start taking meds before my surgery July 30th to regulate it? Does this normally help or hurt people in getting approval from their insurance company (Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO through Wisconsin)? What if I get denied because of my thyroid, I am not even technically diagnosed with a thyroid problem yet just "subclinical"? I didn't gain a lot of weight in short period of time although I have two aunts who have it. I am so upset, I need this surgery so very bad and I am so worried that I will get denied. Thanks for any help.
