Ask your doc.

If you DO catch a cold, any coughing you have to do is going to be somewhat more painful immediately after your surgery.  A trick I learned was to back up against a wall and clutch a pillow to my midsection before I coughed, sneezed, or even cleared my throat.  It worked wonders, as long as I had time to prepare.

Good luck.
