@@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.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
