Hi. I am 21 years old and was diagnosed with MTHFR. I don't have any symptoms and I have no history of clotting, nor does my family. I have also been under anesthesia before when I got my appendix removed. I have already been cleared by my primary care physician and I am waiting to get in with a hematologist. I am interested in getting a BBL but I've been canceled numerous times because I have MTHFR. My question is, would is still be safe to get surgery even though I have been cleared?
