Yes. You can refuse any medical procedure at any time. Often, however, general anesthesia will be the only option. Since giving any doctor ``directions'' is usually a bad idea (might just result in a cancelled procedure) the best course of action is to put your refusal in the form of a question.
Some common non-clinical reasons for cancellations by the hospital include: ward beds unavailable; surgeon unavailable; emergency case needing theatre; theatre list over-ran; equipment failure; admin error; anaesthetist unavailable; theatre staff unavailable; and critical care bed unavailable.
However, there are a few valid reasons to cancel the day before or the morning of the procedure. You spike a fever, have trouble breathing, were involved in an accident, or have developed an infection. If you're sick or injured, your surgeon wants you to cancel for your health and the health of the surgical staff.
