Thank you for your question.  If in the unfortunate circumstance that you get sick before your surgery, you may have postpone your surgery until you are better again.  If you are feeling sick, I would discuss with your surgeon who may help you decide depending on your individual symptoms.

Your surgeon should be notified if you develop a cold before surgery. Depending on the severity of your cold, your surgery may be rescheduled.

As with most things in life, communication is absolutely paramount to a successful patient/physician relationship. So long as you are proactive in your communication with the practice they should be able to keep you informed of what to be looking out for as far as red flags that may require that your surgery be postponed. From what it sound like though you will most likely be fine to proceed as scheduled.

If you have an elevated temperature on the morning of surgery then it will most likely be postponed for your safety.  Hopefully you will be fully recovered prior to the procedure.

Your surgery will most likely not be canceled for a runny nose. If you have a fever than your surgery will most likely be postponed. It's best to keep your surgeon updated so I would call their office and inform them.
