Pregancy Test Before Surgery


Dawn

Recommended Posts

I was supposed to go to the lab on Friday and get my blood drawn for a pregnancy test and I totally forgot!!! I was dealing with my DH in the hosptial that day and work and kid and UGH! Surgery is tomorrow, I have to report at 530am and I hope they will just do the test then? Also, I'm on my freaking period and my husband has been fixed for years, I AM NOT PG!!! LOL I remember when I had my gallbladder out they did the PG test right before surgery so I hope they will here too! I can't put this off to a later time, too much going on right now :( I'm so mad at myself!

Life happens, don't be so hard on yourself. I had my pregnancy test the morning of my surgery, and I was having my period as well. They just pulled it when they pulled the rest of my blood that morning.

Congrats on getting your sleeve, and keep us posted ! ! ! Best wishes.

I hope everything went well and you did not have any delays waiting on test results. I am post menopausal 2 years now I am 54 and DH has been fixed almost 25 years now and they still made me take one! Boy won't a positive result for me would have been a shock(G)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
