"A woman gave birth to a baby boy on the 2nd day of Sukot (Yom Tov Sheni shel
galuyot). Normally the Berit Milah would be 8 days later which would be on
Simhat Torah day also Yom Tov Sheni shel Galuyot.
The question is as follows: The birth was not natural rather it was a C-section.
When is the Berit Milah?
On Simhat Torah, Yom Tov Sheni Shel Galuyot or on the next day which is Hol.
Please provide all sources and explanations."

The following I know to be a fact, but fails to answer the question.
If a baby was delivered by C Section on Shabbos, his bris would be the following Sunday (the baby's 9th day). Only a Bris of a natural birth can take place on Shabbos.  With that reasoning, I would surmise that the Moyel would feel justified in this case to perform the bris on Chol.
