It is a surgery that is not considered critical for you to have at this time. Some surgeries, such as the removal of a gall bladder, would be considered elective (you choose whether or not you want it) if your symptoms come and go and you're doing pretty well. If you're having terrible pain and other complications, then it would no longer be elective. Other surgeries which are considered elective would be those for cosmetic reason, or for conditions for which there are other accepted treatments.
