catching a cold????
It can be. Each DR and anesthesiologist is different, but typically as long as there is no fluid in your lungs or any fever surgery can go on as scheduled.
It's extremely important that this close to surgery you don't try to self medicate. Call your DR and ask what you can safely take. There are new meds that you can be given that will shorten the duration of a cold, but you have to take them as soon as you feel it coming on.
So don't hesitate, call your DR and ask.

catching a cold????
I'll let you know for sure tomorrow. If I'm here screaming, swearing and throwing things the answer is yes, a cold causes a problems and they cancelled my surgery. If you don't see anything from me then, no - or at least with my dr. and anesthesiologist. First cold I've had all winter too.
I caught mine about 10 days out and I can't seem to shake it. My ob/gyn said to take only sudafed and robitussin and to check with my PCP if things were getting worse. I went to the PCP just for peace of mind. They gave me Zithromax which I don't think did anything. I think another day or two and it would be ok, but I'm talking TOMORROW. The congestion is mostly gone, but I have an annoying cough that I can't shake.
I would have loved some motrin and Nyquil/Dayquil but no can do...
Hope you feel better.
