Does spiking/bouncing high BP increase risks of surgery?

My PCP has changed my BP meds in an effort to make it easier for me to take after surgery. I was taking 2500mg of Aldomet and we're now tryign to get my BP stabilized. I tried the patch (3 at one time, too!) and they didn't even touch the BP. I'm now taking Lotrel and HCTZ and even though my BP has dropped some it's now bouncing Up and Down! I'm less than 3 weeks away from surgery (sept. 15th) and am worried they'll cancel my surgery due to labial BP. Any suggestions!?!??!??? I've quickly learned that doctors don't know EVERYTHING about BP.
