Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Don't worry about slight high platelet count. It is normal variation.
You should also have iron and vitamin B12 deficiency. You should take iron and vitamin B12 supplements. It will increase your hemoglobin. Then go for surgery.
