Probably not: even with blood in the bank, surgeons generally require people to have a fairly normal blood count prior to surgery.

Anemia: Its probably safe to have surgery even though you are anemic however it's a good idea to find out why you have anemia. In women the most common cause is heavy menses. However I would still see your family doctor to have them do some blood tests, exam and ask you some questions.
