Obviously everybody should check with their own doctor and anesthesiologist. I asked mine if I could take alprazolam before my surgery. They said "please do if it helps you and just tell us the dose and time". If you Google alprazolam and surgery you will find there have been studies on its efficacy as pre-surgery anti-anxiety medication. I just read such a clinical study and it appears it is a reasonable choice.
But YOU MUST CHECK WITH YOUR OWN DOCTOR! Use advice on the web to formulate an opinion or to decide what to talk to the doctor about, but never made pre-surgical medical decisions with discussing with your doctor.
