Has anyone had problems donating blood as a post-op?

I just went to give blood and was told I could not until I was a year out. The girl that was asking had no clue of what to do when I told her I had WLS. I did not think that this surgery would have anything to do with giving blood. Has anyone else been refused? I am five months out. - Marcy
