Tomorrows surgery got cancelled, iam PREGNANT!



Recommended Posts

I just gor a call saying my surgeon is cancelling my surgery for April 10th because I am preggers!

I am in a shock! I am not even late and I was regular + all the appointments, tests, psych evals, counseling and on top of that I was on 5 day of liqui diet. Everything has to be redone after a year and what are the chances if my insurance.will approve me again or not, since I didn't have any Comorbiditys. Iam 221 and 5'2, just got lucky this time with my insurance.

Oh and don't forget the weight.gain during pregnancy!

I am so nervous right now, don't get me wrong I am very happy but i.had every.thing planned for the new life without all this weight..

Your positivity is highly appreciated.

Good luck to all of my fellow April sleevers:)

Girl....this was my biggest fear (Date: 3/29). I am sssoooooo sorry this happened to you. But....it's a child. This specific egg at this specific time. Must be someone very, VERY special. And maybe this baby is saving your life. Maybe your surgery would have gone terribly wrong, you never know!

I am so sorry, and I understand your mixed emotions completely. I'll be praying for you....and that miracle baby!!!!

Wow, I can imagine you would have mixed emotions over that. All in all, though, what a joyous surprise. :) You do still get to plan for a new life! A brand new precious life that has begun and will be making an appearance in about 9 months or so! <3

Wow! First, congrats! You must be in shock! I'm sure the room is spinning, but man oh man, good thing they found out now instead of next week!

I guess it's true, life happens while we are busy making plans!

Congrats again! I can't help but smile for you. :)

Wow! Congratulations. I think it's normal to have mixed feelings about this. I am pressed to do this surgery right now because in 1-2 years time I do want to start a family and want to be as healthy as I can be. I think it would a difficult transition as far as mind set goes, because we spend so much time preparing for this one single day that will change our lives. However, finding out your pregnant does the exact same thing, in a much more profound way. I say congratulations to you! :) Focus on your health during your pregnancy and that little baby growing inside you! When the time is right, you'll come back to this path again!

Holy cow congrats! I'm sure thay wasn't the plan right now but a baby is always a blessing!

Not sure what insurance you have but bcbs told me once your approved your approved. As long as the policy doesn't change your approval is good until you have the surgery.

Congrats! I'm sorry that your plans have changed, but consider yourself lucky. I desperately want another child and it's not possible for me to have one at this point in my life. It took my husband and I 18 months to get pregnant with our son - and honestly we just got lucky. I have PCOS, uterine polyps, I've had 3 chemical pregnancies, and now I'm no longer ovulating. My OB/GYN won't even help me with fertility until I lose weight - she's the one who suggested the surgery to me. She's the sweetest doctor in the world, so I know she would help me if she could. My husband and I have been trying for almost 2 years to have another one and now we have to wait even longer - if we're even able to have one at all. I know the timing is off for you, but it truly is a blessing and miracle to have a child. I think God wanted me to lose my weight before I have another baby - that's why I need this surgery. Maybe God needs you to have a baby before you lose the weight. :)

      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.
