Hi everyone I had the sleeve done on 10/29/15 and when I have my 6 month follow up my white blood cells count dropped to 3.4 and my doctor reran it and now it's 2.8 and I'm scheduled to see an Hematologist tomorrow. I'm very worried

Were you given any possible explanations for the low white blood cells? Any other symptoms?

It is good that you are seeing a hematologist. Hopefully it is an infection and can be cleared up quickly. Keep us posted.

Thank you everyone for the prayers I had my appointment with the Hematologist. I'm still waiting on two more labs but my white blood cells count increased to 3.6 it's still low. I told the Hematologist I had an sinus infection around June 21th and was given antibiotics for 10 days. My primary care doctor reran my blood count and the wbc was 2.8. I asked him was it still low because the body needed time to rebuild the wbc. He said it should have been back to a normal range. So I don't know the Hematologist wants me to follow up with him in 6 months. He wants me to relax but knowing me I'm a worrier. Again thank you all

Oh gosh, that's scary. :(

I am glad they are keeping an eye on it. And hey, who wouldn't worry about that?! I totally would be worried! Good luck, Leet1984!

I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

Thank you for the prayers I had my appointment with the Hematologist and my white blood cells count increased to 3.6 it's still low and I'm still waiting for the results from 2 more labs but I'm thinking around June 21th and was given antibiotics for sinus infection and I had my blood work reran by my primary care doctor on 8/3/17 and on 8/7 he told me my white blood cells count was 2.8 I asked him how long does it take for my white blood cells count to increase and he said it should have been back to a normal range by August. But the Hematologist has scheduled to follow up with him in 6 months. He told me to relax I'm going to try but I'm a worrier. Thank you everyone.
