Found out I'm pregnant before surgery

[Justjune83 4]

I am suppose to have surgery June 30th 2016 gastric sleeve I took a pregnancy test and found out I was 4-5 weeks pregnant. Would I be able to get surgery or will it be cancelled. I did all my pre op testing and blood work and urine test a couple weeks ago so is there a pregnancy test before surgery? I am confused on what to do.

Congratulations.

Have your surgeon and obstetrician discuss this ASAP.

It is pretty likely that your surgery will be cancelled since they test you for pregnancy right before the surgery because you will just not be getting enough nourishment to provide for yourself and child. Congratulations on the baby!

Congrats!

I have my tubes tied and I had to still take a pregnancy test. I am sorry but your surgery will be cancelled. No reputable doctor would operate under the circumstances.

You posted this in two places, and I'm answering in both. Call your surgeon's office now and tell them. Your surgery WILL be cancelled.

I wish you and your baby the best and you will be able to get the surgery at some point your child is born. Remember your dr and insurance company has all of info and documentation so you won't have to start from scratch.

Only time in my life I lost weight without trying was when I was breastfeeding!
