4 months post op and...

I got my first ever BFP on two home pregnancy tests!! My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 3 years. What do I do now? My doctors office is closed until Monday. I'm freaking out a little bit here. I'm superstitious so I don't want to tell anyone, because I don't want any congratulations yet. Do I look for a walk in clinic that can do pregnancy tests? I don't want to wait until Monday if I don't have to. Again, freaking out a little. Thanks for your advice!

Congratulations. I don't know if it's necessary to go to a walk-in for that unless you just REALLY need to know right now...remember it's cold/flu season and guess where all the sick people like to go! I would stay away from the "sick station" if at all possible!

Trust the home pregnancy test! I work in a medical laboratory for a hospital & we use the same tests you can buy in a store. Just make an apt with your ob-gyn for your first ultrasound, no need to pay for an office visit just to test!

Yeah no sense in going to a clinic since they will give you the same kind of test you took at home. I would just call your Ob/gyn on Monday and schedule an appt.

Thanks all! I called an ob, and he had a cancellation, so I was able to get in for a blood test. And yeah, it appears that i really am pregnant ????????

My first ultrasound is the Monday after Christmas. I am incredibly excited and nervous!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
