    Hi Everyone,

    Just recently had my gall bladder removed. After the surgery (laparascopically) my hgb dropped to 8. Up to that point, it has been low 9’s. Does anyone know if this is to be expected? I felt fine all along so was really upset to see an 8. Any input would be appreciated. I am presently on Accutane which has been keeping my hgb in the 9’s, had to go off it a week before surgery. I guess I will know better when I get another CBC.

    It is common for hgb to drop while on IV’s. It should rebound when they are removed within a day or two.
