Will they do surgery if you have a cold?

I've been waiting almost 2 years for my surgery and since going on optifast I've had a really bad cold.  I did get better but now I feel like my throat is hurting again and surgery is on Thursday.  I have to travel 10 hours away to have it done and i leave Tuesday.  Will they still do surgery if I have a cold?  I'm really trying not to freak out but this extremely low calorie diet has taken a toll on me and sent my immune system into shock.  I haven't had a cold in a year and now I had a huge crash where I lost my voice completely for 2 days and then got double pink eye.  As I said I've recovered but my husband has the cold and I feel like he's given it back to me. :(

My guess would be they'll still do it if it's just a cold and you don't have fever. If it were me, I'd start loading some Airborne just as a cushion!! Good luck!  I think we all fear getting sick just before a big day. Try not to think about it. Keep us posted!

My wife had a cold. As long as your breathing is OK, you are fine.

Thanks, my airways are clear so far, just a sore throat.

It would depend on how sick are.  If your lungs are clear and you don't have a fever, they probably will.  If your lungs are congested or you have a fever, they might not.  I suggest calling your surgeon's office today to discuss it with them.
