I had a cold and congestion when I had my surgery. They did a chest xray, gave me some breathing treatments, and took me to OR. You'll be fine. Good luck!

I have had surgery before with a mild cold with no problem. As someone else already said, it is different if you have a fever, and it will be up to the sirgeon to make the final call.

I second the suggestions for taking some zinc and some garlic pills. Both will help speed up the healing process.
