    No Louisa you don’t loose much blood at all during surgery, I’d given blood a few weeks before so was a pint down anyway and was absolutely fine.I’ve never heard of anyone having to have a blood transfusion and they don’t ask your blood type so I doubt they even hold it as the surgerys.

    Definitely not something you should be worrying about.

    Honestly the opp itself is nothing to worry about, it’s the healing which is a pain!

    You don’t lose a lot of blood but if you’re anemic you have to let the nurse know so she can give you a blood test to see how low your iron levels are otherwise it’s dangerous to have surgery, my blood levels were 88 and needed to be 110 within 3 weeks so for prescribed high dose of iron tablets by my doctor and toon that everyday for 3 weeks and my blood levels went up! If you’re worried speak to a nurse and ask her to give you a blood test otherwise you will end up having surgery and have complications of you are anemic! People shouldn’t sugar coat on here cause your health comes first

    Yeah the best thing is to speak to the nurse about your concerns, I told her I was anaemic before she gave me a blood test and if I didn’t tell her She wouldn’t if given me a blood test and I would of had surgery and probably be very weak and tired and probably would wanna faint cause the lack of iron I had so it’s best to speak to the nurse about your concerns etc she will lead you to the right path and my surgery went fine thanks I’m nearly 4 weeks post op x
