Should I postpone mommy makeover if I lost 2 pints of blood in a different surgery 12 days prior to scheduled makeover?

Asked By:Nichelle Brown in Apopka, FL

I had bladder surgery a week ago and the surgeon accidentally cut through a large pelvic varicose vein. I lost 2 pints of blood. I feel almost back to normal now, just get a little light headed if I get up too quickly. Very similar to being pregnant. I am wondering if it will be a problem to go under anesthesia for 6 hours without having a full amount of red blood cells in my body. Thanks!
