Positive pregnancy test after gastric sleeve



Recommended Posts

So it’s been two weeks since I had my gastric sleeve.
I have been feeling really sick and vomiting after each meal.
Went to see a doctor and he said that I might be pregnant. I took a home test and it was positives took another the next day it was also positive.
Thing is, I’m on my period. And bleeding heavy.
Not to mention I had a major surgery, many X-rays and tons of tests.
How could this be?!

Didn’t they do a pregnancy test at the hospital before your surgery? I know they had to wait for the results of a blood one for me cause I couldn’t pee. I guess you could have conceived just like a night or two before and it not show up on a urine test yet. If you are though and you choose to stay that way I suggest you talk to your surgeon and see an obstetrician ASAP so they can help you navigate getting the essentials for yourself and baby during each stage post surgery.

They did do a test but it didn’t show anything… I’m really confused and trying to figure out if this is a false-positive? There’s a lot of confusing info on the web and I don’t know what to think anymore

I think you would be best to see a doctor and get a test done ASAP. They can also discuss with you the risks to the baby from the X-ray and surgery and being pregnant during this process if you are indeed pregnant.

I agree with @ShoppGirl. You have options, and now is the time to focus on losing weight after surgery. You would have a hard time taking in enough nutrients right after surgery to sustain a fetus. I would talk to your surgeon and an OB/GYN right away!

I also forgot to say most of us have weird periods After surgery for several months so the fact that you have your period could just be surgery related

I have read other threads that show this has happened before and resulted in a healthy pregnancy. Talk to your doctors - false positive are far less common than false negatives. Congratulations!

Definitely see a OBGYN , don’t be shy to ask for hCG labs and an ultrasound to confirm.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
