Hello, Welcome to hcm, Decrease in hemoglobin level post surgery occurs due to blood loss during surgery. As you had two pints of blood tranfused, now continue with injections and oral supplements along with health diet consisting of green leafy vegetables.It will take atleast 3 months for your hemoglobin levels to increase.
Thank you
