Maybe you are a bit low in iron?
Did they do the H-pylori test? If you have H- pylori bacteria in your intestines, sometimes they want you to take antibiotics to get rid of it prior to surgery. They told me you can get it from basically any restaurant where someone didn't wash their hands properly. I had a trace of it, but not enough that I needed medication. I was low in iron, so I had to make sure my levels were hight enough.
With the past 2 surgeries that i recently had, my RBC's were low, hemoglobin, and hematocrit, too were low and the nurses thought for sure they would postpone. Both times, different hospitals, and both surgeons went ahead and approved me to have surgery.
I wouldn't worry too much. It may just be that they want to let you know that everything is ok. I will be thinking of you and hope all is ok.
