You will be at an increased risk for blood clots.

Depending on the type of oral contraceptive you are taking, the medication may have an effect on the fibroids. You should call your OB/GYN to clarify prior to surgery.

This is DEFINITELY a question for your GYN or surgical physician doing your surgery!

Hello,
I am a weight loss surgeon, this is a better question for the hospital you are having surgery at or your own surgeon.
