Not recommended: If you are experiencing seasonal flu symptoms prior to your procedure, you should call the surgery center before coming in and reschedule. Good luck.

Probably: If you are not having a fever, greenish drainage, or shortness of breath he will most likely be okay to proceed with the colonoscopy and endoscopy. However, he will need to check with your doctor to make sure he will proceed with it. I would definitely check with them prior to performing your bowel prep so that you don't do that unnecessarily.
