I have not bleed for 2 weeks now and I have been taking iron, b12; and folic acid. is it safe to move forward....Also I will be using the cell saver during my procedure

Answer: Safety as priority You must know that hemoglobin must be beyond normal in order to have a safe procedure.After the liposuction it is only expected the hemoglobin drops down even more and hemoglobin is needed at normal or close to normal levels in order to heal normal.So you may have Iron IV infusions or therapy with Eritropoyetin before surgery.Ask your doctor, he/she may advise the best.

Answer: Hemoglobin for surgery From my standpoint, as long as your primary care MD also feels your depleted hemoglobin is due to menses, I would be comfortable proceeding since there is minimal blood loss with that procedure. However to be on the safe side, it might be worth delaying your surgery one month to confirm your hemoglobin rises with your current interventions. Dr. Luong
