I have my testing to clear me for surgery tomorrow - blood work, EKG, chest x-ray, etc. OF COURSE, I feel like I may be getting a cold. Will this affect my surgery date? I cannot believe this is happening right now, I'm so frustrated.

You should try zicam swabs. They help shorten the duration of a cold. I use them and they work great. I hope you feel better. Good luck!

I cant imagine a cold affecting your surgery date in 2 weeks. If you have a full fledged cold in 2 weeks, that certainly could be an issue. But a cold rarely lasts two weeks, so id say odds are on your side.

If it turns into the flu or an pneumonia on the other hand, thats a whole different animal. Of course even those should be cleared up by DOS

this is one my fears, I finally get my surgery date and I get sick!!! Hopefully this doesn't happen. Sending good vibes that you stay well for your surgery!

My dr never mentioned Elgar chest X-ray I wonder if it all depends on dr and insurance . I did get a bunch of labs done and have to go do a sleep study before I can have surgery
