Do you think my surgery will be canceled with these blood results? (photo)

Question

Hi there! I'm flying over to the Czech Republic in 8 weeks for a breast uplift with implants. My GP kindly did some blood tests for me so we could make sure all my blood levels were okay prior to surgery. They've come back today & now I'm panicking because of the B12 levels and slightly low lymphocytes. Do you think my surgery will be cancelled with these results??

Dear Corinnaj,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.

Those blood tests are not worrisome but your surgeon makes the final determination. I’m not sure why you are going to the Europe for a procedure that is done commonly in the states. Unless you have family there?

No, you should be find, but you should only be asking your surgeon about his/her opinion. No other opinion really matters.

Hi and welcome to our forum!
Of the results presented, only your B12 levels are elevated. However, there are other important chemistry results not included, especially kidney and liver studies to rule out underlying disease, as they may be associated with elevated B12 levels. It may be wise to speak with your primary care physician again before your trip.
Best wishes...
