What Happens If You Get Pregnant Before Your Surgery Date?

Is there anyone that can tell me if they found out they were pregnant before their scheduled surgery? If so, what happened, was it just postponed until after the birth or ...? Just a general question and thanks in advance!

They won't do elective surgical procedures on pregnant women.

I understand that, I was wondering if they cancel your procedure all together and you have to go through the process all over again or if they just postpone it until after the pregnancy.

Oh, I am self-pay, so I didn't have to deal with insurance.

I think the pre op requirements are good for like a year. I believe ater a year you have to redo them. So I guess if you were to have your surgery very shortly after giving birth you'd be good. Not sure if a doc would want you to be a certain amount of time post partum though
