Bummed out for real...the last piece. Someone told he will give me a shot. My hemoglobin is 10.6 up from 9 in four days. I just want to get every in and wait for approval. Snail pace!

Your time will be soon! Be patient! They are making sure you are healthy before you have the surgery!!!

Will they not approve you because of your anemia? I had surgery with a hgb of 9. Not ideal but I was fine. I'm currently getting iron infusions for another 6 weeks. Good luck to you.

Thanks to both of you. Both responses are very encouraging. I just hadn't anticipated the dr dragging it out so long. I keep telling myself "it's going to happen".

Butterfly how did you get them to do that?

I was cleared! My normal hem is just between 10-11. So there is no worries!! Yay!

I am getting 10 weeks of iron infusions. My surgery will be about half way through them . Hoping it won't interfere. See my surgeon on Tuesday. Have you had surgery yet?

Yes, I am two months out. My hemo was 9 at time of surgery, but my surgeon was ok with still going through with it. I've had two treatments already and can start telling a difference.
