Iron and B12 Levels; Will they cancel surgery if they find my levels are low/deficient?

February 10, 2016
Asked By:lilayca in Onaga, KS

I'm having a tummy tuck with Muscle repair done in 2 weeks in Ontario. I have a history of having low B12 and Iron levels. My pre admission appointment is next week. They will be drawing blood. Will they cancel surgery if they find my levels are low/deficient? And if so why wouldn't they have drawn blood months ago and tried to correct my levels before surgery? Thanks!
