Surgery date tomorrow and I just caught a cold!!

I heard if you have a bad cold they would reschedule your sugery. Granted I do have a cold but it's not a bad one. Any advise on how to fight this thing? I don't want my surgery postponned. I've waited for years to have it.

Hi Satin! Congratulations on your surgery date! I'll pray for you that your surgery is uneventful, normal and VERY successful! Definitely tell your doctor about your cold. It's not worth it to have surgery and risk your health if they recommend you not have it done. Your body will be in a weakened condition post-op as it is. Adding to that a cold cannot be good. I completely understand that you've waited so long to have the surgery, but what is another couple weeks to wait to make sure your health is in the right place. It wouldn't do you much good if you had the surgery and had serious complications due to the fact that you're not 100% healthy going in. Your doctor will know more what to tell you. It may not have any effect on your surgery at all, who knows? I'll be thinking about you tomorrow and wishing you the very very best!! God bless you!! Brenda
