Katie, it can take up to a week for blood pressure pills to show they are working to reduce high BP. It can also depend on the dose they have started you on. The usual recommended starting dose for patients often has to be increased to get the best results. Sit tight and relax - the obvious stress of imminent surgery is probably enough to increase most people's blood pressure! Hopefully all will be well and your op will go ahead. Good luck with that, too.

Easier said than done but try to relax. Sounds like 'White coat'. All the best and hope they go ahead with the op.
