A member asked:

I'm having a laparoscopy in 2 days, but also have a slight cold, will they reschedule the procedure?

9 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Inform your surgeon: There's no point taking on extra risk having a general anesthesia for an elective procedure. Rescheduling until you're better is a better choice, if you have one.
