Surgery with a cold - yay or nay?

I'm scheduled for surgery (laparoscopy/hysteroscopy) on Tuesday and yesterday I woke up with a cold. It doesn't seem to be a sinus infection, just a head cold with stuffy nose/itchy sore throat. It's a lot better today.

Do any of you know if they will still do my surgery on Tuesday if I have this cold? I'll be having a general anesthetic so that's what's making me wonder. I'm hoping the cold will be gone by then but just in case I wondered if any of you knew.

Thanks in advance, ladies.

I would think they won't want to operate if you aren't in optimal health but I would call the doctor Monday morning to discuss it.

If you aren't breathing well because of stuffiness, etc. that may be a reason they would cancel. I would call and ask. Good luck!!! Feel better!
