Are you kidding me? Pregnant?



Recommended Posts

My surgery is scheduled 5 days from now. I just got a positive pregnancy test (pee on a stick). I'm kind of hoping it's incorrect. We'd been trying to get pregnant since April, but I had since decided I would go ahead with the surgery first.

Can you say horrible timing? I've already paid for the surgery and everything! :sad:

I'd call your surgeon and have a blood test done tomorrow morning! Keep in mind, a baby is a blessing no matter when it happens! I'm sure your surgeon will refund your money (most of it anyways) if you are pregnant.

So you have the baby....(congratulations maybe) and then you have your surgery in 18 months!

Deep breaths...everything will work out exactly how it should!

If I were you, I would rejoice about the pregnancy :), and ask the surgeon if he would consider applying the money as a "pre-payment" for the surgery at a future date!! I am sure he would, and perhaps that way you could avoid any increase in price of the surgery between now and when you get it.

Just a thought!:sad:

I run a pregnancy center. Two positives probably don't lie. The fact is that the pregnancy hormone has been detected!

Congratulations. This is a case of life interrupted, but wow-what a joy it is.

If you are having trouble dealing, I do work with women facing unplanned pregnancies and would be happy to give you a listening ear.

This is a blessing and a miracle!

Wow, bad timing indeed! But I believe with big things like this there is a reason for everything, and this little baby needs to be arriving sooner rather than later!

Let us know what your Dr. says about the payment and cancelling of surgery and such.

Congrats!

Test #2 is positive as well. Eep!

Sounds bitter sweet. On a positive thought...you will have no problem getting rid of that baby weight in another 18 months! Just remember that someone else had a plan that was bigger and better than yours. I have a sneaky suspicion that it will bring you so much joy!

Congratulations! I know it doesn't feel like the best timing right now, but there is a reason for everything. Enjoy your pregnancy, the surgery can be done later. :scared2:

      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?
