Hey guys I was suppose to be banded this morning but I was cancelled because my white blood cells were really high.... It's suck because I was so ready to start my journey but now it's bein put on hold to find out what's the problem....I feel fine I don't think n e things wrong But obviously something was wrong and I won't find out until my blood work gets back in 4 days!! so basically I'm playing the waiting game???? feeling upset and lost need help! Trying to find out what do I do and where you I go from here??????

@@Outerbeauty13 don't worry. Stick to your pre-op diet if you had one and keep on the path. The smallest thing like an infection or a cold or even arthritis can raise your white blood cell count.

They will come and let you know and tell you where to go from here. Relax give yourself some TLC this weekend and before you know it you will be on your way. It's better to be safe then sorry so it's a good thing they are making sure that you are 100% before going into major surgery.

I had the same thing happen to me last April. Mine went so high that I was put into the hospital on antibiotic drip for 3 days. Had to go to a Hematologist to find out what was wrong. Nothing was found and he released me for surgery. He told me I may be the odd person out that will always have somewhat of a HWC. Meds that you are taking could cause some of it. My new date was set for 7/7/14. Did all my pre-op yesterday. Got that call again today. YEPPERS, WBC was high again (still). Had to almost offer to go back into the hospital and have the antibiotics again for 3 days right before surgery. He finally gave in and Surgery is on again. I have known about my WBC since the late 80's, so it really wasn't anything new to me. Hang in there. Your surgery will happen.... Best of luck to you.
