Hi all, my surgery was supposed to be today 4/28. On two occasions, my white blood cell count was high. I repeated the test and it's slowly coming down. Started at 13.4 and I'm at 11.8 now but they would like it under 10. They sent me to a hematologist and I was freaking out of course. Is this serious I asked? Cancer? Leukemia? Because I kept asking where an infection might be coming from and nobody knows!!

He assured me it's nothing serious but I feel totally fine! I'm not sick at all but I do work in a daycare. So, I'm awaiting results on May 4th and will hopefully be cleared for my new surgery day 5/12. They tell me to stay away from germs haha I'm in a cesspool of germs but trying frequent hand washing and sanitizer and vitamins. It's a helpless feeling even though I know they have my best interest at heart. You prepare and focus on your surgery date the entire time and then this happens! Sorry, just had to vent. I am happy to see so many positive stories here and cannot wait to be one of them!

Eeeekkk ! Sorry to hear of your delay , but as you know blood cell counts are mucho important during surgery !!! Im glad your team is doing everything they can to make to make sure you have a healthy before , during and after WLS journey. Keep us updated, you'll get lots of support here !! Good luck !!!

Thank you!

Sorry that you have the delay but better you be 100 percent healthy going into surgery. Hopefully your time is close!

Update: there was absolutely nothing wrong with me. The blood work came back the same and the Dr. Just explained some people just have higher levels. So, I'm rescheduled for May 12th!

Yippee! Best wishes for all that is ahead!
