Has anyone changed surgeons after having been approved because they are having

problems getting any answers from their surgeon. I have mild kidney damage, (due to infections) and was told that I could still have surgery as long as it was something that I have had for years. My insurance approved, then I was told that I was anemic. Now my surgeon won't do the surgery till my iron is normal. Well, my PCP says that I would need a transfusion to get my iron up to normal (because of the kidney problems). Now I am unable to get any answers from my surgeon on whether she will do this or not. It has been almost two weeks since I wrote to here with this information. Has anyone else had this or a similar problem and then changed to another surgeon that would at least give you an answer? Anything that anyone could tell me would be greatly appreciated. I feel in the dark on this and have begun to loose patients and I am normally a very patient person...:) Thanks in advance.
