sideeye 1,440 Posted July 29, 2018 I told them if the test came back positive, they’d be witnessing the start of a new religion. They still made me take it. 2 3 lizonaplane, Taoz, Orchids&Dragons and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taylor2021 23 Posted July 29, 2018 Hello. I also have PCOS and I don't ovulate therefore I'm hoping wls will help me in that area so i may eventually become pregnant. If you don't mind me asking, what surgery are you getting and where are you getting it done? Thanks! 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you don't mind me asking, what surgery are you getting and where are you getting it done? Thanks! it definitely will! from what i’ve read, after surgery you’re extremely fertile so if you don’t want to be preggers be extra careful! i got the sleeve done this past wednesday! 1 Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Born in Missouri 1,264 Posted July 29, 2018 I missed all the drama but got here in time for saygrace's good news. I wonder if they test men for STDs before surgery? 2 saygrace and Frustr8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

insta_adventurer 1,046 Posted July 29, 2018 Okay- so I had to take the test, too- even though I have an IUD and literally had my period the day of surgery. But- it could be very catastrophic for you and the potential fetus if you were pregnant during surgery... so better safe than sorry. It’s peeing in a cup- which is a painless (for most) thing to do. It’s not like they’re doing a spinal tap to see if you’re pregnant. 1 2 Orchids&Dragons, Frustr8 and saygrace reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My plastic surgeon did. My endocrine surgeon didn’t. Varies by hospital/surgery center. I mean I get it that some of them want to cover themselves and don’t want to take your word for it... but some do take your word for it. It’s not consistent. In case you’re wondering I was over 40 post menopause and had my tubes tied. So 🤷🏼♀️ 1 1 Frustr8 and saygrace reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NYJenn 1,463 Posted July 29, 2018 I don’t know, I had a test done even before surgery in my ankle. But I’m also in my 30s. So maybe there’s a certain protocol based on age Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
