Don't be on anything the doctors won't know about. I'm pretty sure you have to fast before any surgery like that. Staying away from any food or drugs is probably in your best interest. If you're worried about pre-surgery anxiety ask for a valium. It's common procedure to give a patient a benzo before using anaesthesia so you may even be offered one without asking.

I smoke every day and one day I broke my arm(both bones), so I had to go to the hospital and get plates/screws. The doctor had asked me many times if I smoked and I always said no. So after they had put me under, some fuckin reaction took place where my lungs filled up with fluid because I had taken a breath during surgery(I wasn't completely under, cause of the weed) and developed pulminary adiema. Basically, I was drowning on my own body fluids. I almost died from smoking before the surgery. 5 days in intensive care extra.
I would strongly tell the doctor about ALL drug/ drinking you do, They have doctor/patient confidentiality, so don't worry about getting in trouble.

everybody should realize that the second statement is 100% true. most shrinks/drs wont even break under extreme law enforcement pressure. ive been to 3 therapists in my life and they all signed a confidentiality agreement, as well as me, stating that everything discussed in that room stays in that room, unless i take it elsewhere
