Taking iron pills before surgery?

tummyfatter
If my hemo is naturally a 14.0 is it necessary to take iron before surgery? My doc. Wants me to take iron but but I'm thinking if I take the iron pills it might make my hemo lower because it's already high. Do you think I should maybe take a pull every other day? I'm having a Tummy Tuck BBL & Breast Lift
