Has anyone's bloodtests results kept them from having surgery?

I got all of my preop tests completed but had to go back to give more blood to have my bloodwork tests repeated because my PCP said my white blood cell count, liver enzymes, cholesterol and triglycerides were all to high. Well today the results from the 2nd tests came back and my liver enzymes were above normal, my cholesterol level is 303 and my triglycerides is 495. She wants to start me on Lipitor starting tomorrow and she's faxing the results to my surgeon. I don't know if I should be worried about this affecting my surgery scheduled for 10/13.....Has this happened to anyone else?
