I haven't had this problem. What did your doctor say? I assume you've looked it up online. If not, here is a link from the Mayo clinic:

Some of the reasons look scary, but there are also some that aren't. Your doctor may repeat your WBC lab, to make sure it is correct before exploring other avenues. 

I hope a simple solution is found. Good luck.

My white blood cell count has been low since my surgery 4 years ago.  I saw my PCM yesterday and he wasn't concerned about it. I do feel like I seem to get sick more often.  I don't live near my surgeon anymore, so I can't get his input.   Do you have any symptoms?

Well, I had my 6 month appt. on Jan 21, 2016 and went from a high point to a low point within minutes.  My weigh in was wonderful.  I weigh in at 301.  That is awesome because my journey started at 400 February 12, of 2015.  I have been working out 3 to 4 times a week and started lifting weights now.  I feel awesome, have more energy but my nutritionalist told me that I was still losing muscle mass.  I was also diagnosed as being anemic, vitamin deficient, B-12 deficient, and worse my White blood cell count has dropped.  Now I am scared as hell and they scheduled me to see a Hemotologist/oncologist.   Is this normal for bariatric patients.   please somebody tell me something.
