    As long as you are cleared for surgery by your pulmonologist, I don't see why.

    I'm assuming that you've tested positive sometime in the past or did you actually have an active infection?

    Yes I had a positive test in 2010 and was sent to have a chest X-ray which everything turned out to be normal and I have never had any symptoms of the tb.

    Thank you for your feedback :)
