You should talk with your surgeon about this. Extacy is usually made in peoples homes and you have no idea what they are putting in it. This is a dangerous drug that causes a lot of deaths and comas. It isn't a great idea to take this especially before a surgical procedure. There are many things to avoid before surgery but they are usually 2 months to two weeks prior to surgery. Please do not take this drug anymore for your own safety. And be honest with your PS and anesthesiologist.

I do not think that there will be any issue with this. The important thing is to disclose this to your surgeon and anesthesiologist.

After 7 weeks, I am uncertain as to whether there will be any repercussions with surgery.    Not much literature on the subject.

Excuse my ignorance but I do not know exactly what this drug is. I would stay away from all of these illicit drugs at all times

Dennis Dass, MD · Answer

A single dose of ecstasy should have been completely excreted from your body in time for surgery.  The problem is that you never know if the pill was pure.  Notify your surgeon and anesthesiologist.
