Hi everyone

It's been awhile - things are still going great :)

Just had my first blood tests - and it came back with low lymphocytes.

Does anyone have any insight on what may have caused this?

I've been googling - but I don't really see a whole lot associated with the surgery - I hope it's not as bad as what I have been reading.

Hi TDot,

i read that it can be caused by under nutrition which is certainly something that could be happening. It's important to get the white blood cell count up to fend off infections. I think the nutritionist or your Dr should be able to help you with supplements.

Thanks

Most things I read where due to auto immune disorders and cancer - I didn't see much in way of nutrition or any link to Bariatric surgery.

I hope that is the case - and it is just a matter of tweaking my routine.

Glad to see you back!

I don't know much about lymphocytes, but I am hoping the outcome is as simple as nutrition

I have my surgery on May 16 - can't wait to get rid of this band!!!

Hello,

I had the same thing and found that knowledge - especially a little enhanced by Google, is often a dangerous thing. Mine was of no concern and they went back to the normal range quickly. When you go on the LifeLab website to read your own results, it can cause useless worry. The best thing to do is to call your G.P. for his or her opinion. Right now, no worries.

Orientation: June 29th, 2016, Surgery March 22, 2017. Pre-surgery: 16 lbs, (Size 2x, 18/20), M1: 19 lbs. (Size 1x, 16/18), M2: 13 lbs. (Size 16, XL) M3: 10 lbs. (Size 14/16, large). M4: 6 lbs. (Size 14, large/medium). M5: 10 lbs. (Size 14, solid medium - lol), M6: 9 lbs. (Size 12, medium). M7: 8 lbs. (Size 10/12 and small/medium). M8: 7 lbs. (Size 10 and small/medium). M9: 2 lbs. (Size 8/10 - small/medium). Lost 100 lbs by Month 9! M10: 5 lbs. M11: 4 lbs. One year: 6 lbs. Total 111 lbs. lost!
