I came down with a cold last week. I feel ok, just a bit congested. I'm wondering if my surgeon my change my surgery date.

I sure hope not because I just started a cold also I'm taking Buckley pills to get it out of my system fast

I had a cold before surgery and still had a slight cough the morning of my surgery. My anesthesiologist heard me cough and measured my oxygen level it was at 94. He asked if I wanted to reschedule or go ahead. He said if I'm not breathing at full capacity they would have to monitor my breathing differently and there's a greater risk of complications. I said I would rather go for it. I was originally scheduled for July but my dad passed away the day before my surgery so I had to cancel and my insurance company made me go through the whole 6 month process again.

I would just talk to your anesthesiologist. Mine agreed with my decision to move forward but had he recommended otherwise I would have postponed it

Call him and have him put you on antibiotics. That's what I did and all went well.
