Any chance you can get on a short call list? Although it's rare that anyone would cancel a surgery, there are times when a person could get sick, have cold etc. and not be able to have general anesthesia. Obviously this couldn't be a real short notice thing as you would have to fast, but a day before cancellation could work. A long shot, but worth a phone call.
Good luck.
