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

Answer: Taking iron pills before surgery? I would recommend having a discussion with your surgeon to find out why he is recommending the additional iron, but also it will be important to follow the instructions of your surgeon and not online consultants.Best wishes for a result you will be pleased with.

Answer: Tummy Tuck and Iron Pills Fourteen is an normal hemoglobin level so iron supplementation is not needed unless for some reasons your surgeon expects a large blood loss. For the majority of my patients the blood loss is minimal with mommy makeover surgery or tummy tucks. Taking iron with a normal hemoglobin will not significantly change it one way or the other.#tummytuck#mommymakeover
