Is it safe to get a TT with now high iron saturation?

Asked By:Calm9507 in Orlando, Florida

I had low iron, and a low hemoglobin. I was recently treated with iron infusion, two treatments of Venofer 200mg, and now have an iron saturation of 60, which I understand is high. My hemoglobin levels have risen, which is good, but it appears I have what they call iron overload. Is it safe to proceed with the surgery despite having high iron saturation? This isn’t something common for me, I typically deal with low iron and low, hemoglobin due to my menstrual cycle being extremely heavy.
