Hi and welcome to HCM.
Yes, it is safe however, there is higher risk of some anestehsiological complications so you should discuss it with anestesiologist or surgery can be done under spinal anashesia. But generally, this is not an contraindication for surgery and you should not worry.
I hope I answered your query.
Thanks for the query. Regards.
