I don't think so, if the surgery is recent. Is a serious thing. I feel my back working out really hard when I do pilates. Is good to prevent, not sure about the after surgery. Talk to ur Doc even before talking to an instructor.
"Pilates is an exercise program that focuses on the core postural muscles that help keep the body balanced and are essential to providing support for the spine. In particular, Pilates exercises teach awareness of neutral alignment of the spine and strengthening the deep postural muscles that support this alignment, which are important to help alleviate and prevent back pain."

Eat nourishing food with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables being part of it. Chew each morsel at least 32 times. This will activate signal to the brain as soon as u have had enough. Besides this change in eating style, take regular light exercises and brisk walks every day. U will be able to gain/shed all extra weight gracefully and in a reasonable time span.

Yeppers!
Pilates originally was a way to rehabilitate injured people so don't worry.
