What if you are diagnosed with new things during the pre-surgery workup?

I haven't even had my consultation yet, but I'm trying to plan for every possible situation (I'm an over-planner LOL). I haven't had full blood work in a couple years (had some pre-surgery blood work 2 years ago for a back surgery and everything was fine, but I'm not sure what results they were looking for). I'm pretty sure I'm in perfect health (weight issues aside), but there's always the chance that I could be diagnosed with something that's been hidden.
Has anyone been diagnosed with any new illnesses (diabetes, sleep apnea, hypothyroidism, high blood pressure, high cholesterol etc), during the pre-surgery workup? What happens? Do they halt everything to treat the new problem? Will they go ahead with the surgery if they're confident that the surgery can help?
Thanks in advance!!
