I just got my blood work back and I'm anemic.... will that prevent me from getting the surgery?

It shouldn't. Anemia is very common and treatable. Depending on how severe, most times the doctors will just prescribe iron or advise you to take an iron supplement. Unless your hemoglobin and hematocrit are extremely low, it shouldn't disrupt surgery at all. As always, of course, check with your doctor.

Well my doctor said it was a little low. I googled the symptoms and so far I fall under the iron deficiency category because I'm always eating ice....

No I came back anemic too in my labs. They gave me meds but did the surgery anyway. You really don't lose much blood at all for the Lapband so I don't think there would be a problem unless it was severe or something. Did they put u on iron?

I go back to my doctor next Friday but I'm pretty sure she will give me that....
