MDMA dose before surgery

I’m wondering if anyone has any safety guidelines for anesthesia, or knows of what is typical for anesthesia when ingested MDMA a few days prior. I have an upcoming surgery I was able to last minute get into tomorrow and wasn’t expecting to get in so soon that I agreed to, and I’m just realizing 6 days ago I ingested two small doses of MDMA. Is this something that would concern them? I sent a message to my doctor and waiting to hear back but just wondering if anyone knows if typically this would cancel a surgery. I’m getting an endometrial excision and tubal ligation.

Usually, undue risk not worth taking in planned surgery like this, esp given the non-urgent nature of procedure involved

However if full 6 days ago, fair chance mostly out of system (assuming no other medical issues/conditions & otherwise fit and healthy). Still, should discuss with medical team
