You seem to be safe. I wouldn't take a bisphosphonate until bone markers (P1NP, CTX) show an imbalance indicating that bone will be lost. I would want to allow the best amount of time for healing after the surgery. Your surgeon may have a preferred time frame. I'd be needing reassurance at two months. If you were considering Forteo, you might get the jump on it because it can only help and speed healing from the surgery. It isn't usually effective against rebound. so I'd still want the bone markers.
Hey we're the same age. I haven't fractured and just had some dental surgery. I hope your dental work will be successful. And secretly. I hope you join me on Forteo.

@ariespumpkin, It looks like your timing is good.
"Case reports then appeared of new, often multiple, vertebral fractures that developed in patients within a few months of stopping denosumab — termed “rebound-associated” fractures. "

If your plan is to stop Prolia, you would want to consider a bisphosphonate. Reclast is usual after Prolia, but there can be fierce side effects, life changing for some. You may be one of the many for whom Reclast isn't much of a problem. Some people have sufficient protection from alendronate (Fosamax).
Best wishes for your surgery and after.
