Charlotte43 0 Posted February 19, 2017 I had a cold before surgery and still had a slight cough the morning of my surgery. My anesthesiologist heard me cough and measured my oxygen level it was at 94. He asked if I wanted to reschedule or go ahead. He said if I'm not breathing at full capacity they would have to monitor my breathing differently and there's a greater risk of complications. I said I would rather go for it. I was originally scheduled for July but my dad passed away the day before my surgery so I had to cancel and my insurance company made me go through the whole 6 month process again. I would just talk to your anesthesiologist. Mine agreed with my decision to move forward but had he recommended otherwise I would have postponed it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
