Why postpone surgery if hemoglobin A1C is too high?

My blood work came back my hemoglobin was 9.84. Of course too high. So they postponed my surgery. How is this going to hurt my surgery. I am on 10 - 40 mg of steriods everyday so my reading bounce around like a yo yo. I have sever asthma and they have to keep it under control that way. That is why I need the surgery. My PCP said they should do the surgery anyways. Because it isn't going to get any better. If I don't get the surgery in a month he said I would be too sick to get it done. WHat should I do? and can you explain why they won't do the surgery. Thanks, Bonnie
