Hi guys. My surgery should be set for January. We're sending to insurance next week. I'm so worried though my blood tests will prevent me from getting the surgery. For the past 6 months my WBC count has been elevated. It's been as high as a 13. Normal range is 10. My inflammation markers are up too. My pcp said he will still clear me bug im afraid presurgical testing may tell me im nit ok for surgery. Has this happened to anyone?
