cant tell you about WBC but for the Vit D I was low and they put me on 5000 mgs, you can get it at Walmart about 6 bucks.

Think an elevated WBC means there is an infection somewhere. I heard it is very common for Vitamin D to be deficient in the obese. I was also low, and have been taking supplements since September.

Did you find out about the elevated WBC during pre-surgical testing? My WBC has been high for 6 months now. I'm also Iron deficient due to fecal occult blood loss. I am terrified this will hold up my surgerg. My PCP said no to worry and he will clear me for surgery, but it's still in the back of my mind all the time.

My elevated WBC levels are due to my Lupus, it can be caused by a number if things, mine is from the Lupus and Inflammation.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
