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 isnt something common for me, I typically deal with low iron and low, hemoglobin due to my menstrual cycle being extremely heavy.
I am planning on having a tummy tuck procedure done before the end of October by a board certified plastic surgeon. I have always taken vitamins and minerals to keep my skin looking radiant. List of vitamins/minerals Vitamin A, C, E, Zinc, Rutin,Bromelaine, Arnica Iron Supplement- for my mild anemia I read that vitamin e serves as a blood thinner, so I would like to know how soon before surgery should I stop taking vitamin e and any other vitamin/mineral I mentioned in my list.
I'm scheduled to have a extended tummy tuck on 6/29 with Dr. Robert Hunsaker. My preop labs since March 2017 have been coming back with low hemoglobin. As of 3/25/17 it was 9.2, on 6/7/17 it was 9.5 and has of 6/21/17 it's 9.4. I'm currently on iron, folic acid and b-12. My surgeon stated he is okay with moving forward with my plan surgery. I just would like some second opinions.
I went to my general doctor and I had some analysis done few weeks ago and everything came out good, just a little anemia and he prescribe some Iron to take twice a day. I'm a healthy woman and have two children (4 &2) I had two C-section and my weight is around 148 pounds and 5'2''. My concern is because I want to have a TT back lipo. I just feel selfish because this is something I just want to do it and its my dream but I just thinking of my children.
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!
I'm scheduled for surgery in 10 days and I have increased iron in prep for surgery. In the meantime the iron is causing a bit of consitpation. Is it ok to take stool softners to help. I plan to do a liquid diet 2 days before surgery just because I have never been regular in my life.
