Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is not the medical emergency what you have stated here. It all depends upon the clinical condition and if the symptoms are severe then it can be taken at the earliest else, it is the planned surgery. It is good to have a second and third opinion and discuss about the medical management besides the surgery.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
