She was anaemic when she was first scheduled to have surgery, that was a while back. The thing is if she has managed to lose three stone in the meantime why make surgery more risky? I would just carry on with the weight loss till it was safe. As Lettie pointed out if her condition becomes life threatening the surgery will go ahead regardless of her weight.
