    I had a horrible chest cold/bronchitis 2 weeks before surgery and was on an antibiotic when I was operated on. My doc told me that I would be fine through surgery and it wasn't postponed. Everything went well. If you start to feel like you are coming down with a cold call your surgeon immediately so they can possibly put you on something so that the surgery doesn't have to be postponed. Good luck!
