Just getting over cold right before surgery?

Question

I'm on my way out of a cold, and most of the phlegm is out of my lungs (occassional slightly productive clear cough). My nose is still runny, but not too bad. I've been on antibiotics and Duradex (Rx Mucinex basically) for 7 days now. What are the chances my surgeon will not let me go into surgery in two days? The procedure is to remove my thyroid, which averages about 90 minutes to 2 hours. I would especially appreciate hearing from anesthesiologists, surgeons, and those who have had to deal with this issue personally.

Answer 1

you need to let them know. And let them make the decision.
