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:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
