Worried/bone marrow bio

vcOkay, I feel as if I am on an emotional roller coaster and boy do I want to get off! My surgery date is October 15 and boy am I excited. I am supposed to start my pre-op stuff somewhere around the 23rd of September. Then the coaster starts rolling again, I have been going to a hematologist because of high blood platelets and now after a zillion blood tests and major iron supplements and vitamin c, They really dont know why they are still high, I guess the doctor wants to rule out everything, So now he wants me to have a bone marrow biopsy, which of course scares me completely, I did ask him if i can still have my WLS and he thought it would be okay, but wants the results back before I have it, I am definitely not having fun! I still am counting down to my surgery date cause that is the only hope I have right now. I want to be knocked out completely and have it done along with my WLS Is that to much to ask for! I am now so worried that I wont even pass my pre-op tests, Everything was going so good, now everything seems to be going down hill, My nerves are shot! Any suggestions? should I still take my iron which I am taking 325 mg three times a day?
