my surgery got canceled due to HCG levels being too high in preop testing..

Hello everyone

My surgery was scheduled for tomarrow and I just got a call from my surgeon's office that my HCG levels were 25000 and there's a chance Iam pregnant. So I went and did the test and to my surprise it is positive!

Although I am happy but I am so worried about the weight gain during pregnancy as I already am 221# and 5'2. Plus I have to do all the pre-req for the surgeries all over again next year after the baby and iam worried if the insurance will approve me then or not.

Just wanted to see if anyone here ever went through this or something similar.?

Oh and I was on the preop clear liquid diet for 5 days already.

happy and nervous <-- thats me right now

What a range of emotions for you. I'm so sorry about your surgery but Congratulations on your pregnancy! I have no first hand knowledge to offer, but maybe you can confer with your NUT and you can plan for a healthy pregnancy.

As long as your insurance doesn't change, they shouldn't deny you after pregnancy. You still have a history of obesity and it is documented.

Best of luck to you!!

Congrats. You will be fine. As long as you keep the same insurance with the same requirements you will be fine. You will probably be apprived faster when they see that you were approved before. Good Luck!
