Okay, my pre-op blood work is perfectly healthy except my TSH 3RD GEN is 9.0, but my FREE T4 range is normal. My doctor says I don't have hypothyroid and am cleared for surgery, but my Plastic Surgeon says he won't perform surgery until I get a medical clearance from an endocrinologist. What can I do?
