Did anyone have problems with being anemic less than a month before surgery? Is there anything that can be done about this before surgery? Will this stop me from having my surgery? My doctor will not give me clearance till i clear with hematology on tuesday, my pre op is the day after on that wednesday.

I am severely anemic and had to see a hematologist for 2 months prior to surgery and I am still really anemic like im usually a 6.5 and now im a 10 blood level wise but i did get clearance and they are coming up with a safe plan for during and after surgery

Only problem is, my surgery is in almodt two weeks actually on june 16 and they are just now sending me to a hematologist....i cant get clearance from my primary care till i clear with hematology and my pre op apptmnt is on Wednesday day and the hematologist appt is tuesday....smh....uggh

I've heard sometimes they'll do an infusion of Iron -- if that happens they may not have to delay.

Wishing the best for you!

Thanks Ginger Snaps! I pray all goes well
