Hi, I realize this was posted over a year ago but I was wondering what your surgeon told you about your WBC count being low? I have just gotten some blood work back from the doctor, and they told me the same (although I am pre-op)...just wondering what implications it might have for me before I contact my surgeon/nutritionist. Hope it was nothing serious for you. Thank you.

My wbc and platelets were both low... I'm trying not to freak out... got my results by email from lab, doctor tomorrow, not the surgeon who ordered the cbc, but my family doctor. Hope he can shed some light on it. I hear low wbc and platelets, and I immediately think leukemia... hopefully it's nothing... stupid internet... lol

How low?

Mine came back last week at 3.5 (4-7 i think being 'normal) and was flagged as High by the lab. The doc said that wasn't clinically significant or even worrisome since it wasn't off the charts and most other things were okay. (I do have genetically high cholesterol, but that doesn't have anything to do with wbci'm told.)

The doc did at first ask about nutrients, of which i get plenty and do well, and so in the end she said not to worry unless I felt ill, had fever or any other symptoms to check out. They'll test again in 6 months--I'm currently one year from surgery, just FYI.

I have a similar question. My wbc is low as well 3.1. I do have an autoimmune disease so the cause is known. Rest of blood work was normal.

I'm at the end of a very long process and I have my final medical clearance next week. Will they still do the surgery?

I was sleeved 12/18/2018 and now my last two blood test came back low white blood cell and low neutrophils absolute. I see my Dr tomorrow. She was a bit concerned the last time so i had the second blood test 6 months apart. So well see what happens tomorrow. I have a form of leukemia in my family on my mothers side. So of course im worried.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
