    Good luck dear! Usually insurance will get back within 5 days, don't worry. and then your pre surgery class, preop visit with d nguyen and preop testing at valley care and off you go..iam saying all this because I just went through these steps few days ago,.and thenjust a day before my sleeve they called and said I was pregnant and canceled my surgery :)

    Well goodluck to you and keep us posted.

    I just gor a call saying my surgeon is cancelling my surgery for April 10th because I am preggers!

    I am in a shock! I am not even late and I was regular + all the appointments, tests, psych evals, counseling and on top of that I was on 5 day of liqui diet. Everything has to be redone after a year and what are the chances if my insurance.will approve me again or not, since I didn't have any Comorbiditys. Iam 221 and 5'2, just got lucky this time with my insurance.

    Oh and don't forget the weight.gain during pregnancy!

    I am so nervous right now, don't get me wrong I am very happy but i.had every.thing planned for the new life without all this weight..

    Your positivity is highly appreciated.

    Good luck to all of my fellow April sleevers:)

    Hello everyone

    My surgery was scheduled for tomarrow and I just got a call from my surgeon's office that my HCG levels were 25000 and there's a chance Iam pregnant. So I went and did the test and to my surprise it is positive!

    Although I am happy but I am so worried about the weight gain during pregnancy as I already am 221# and 5'2. Plus I have to do all the pre-req for the surgeries all over again next year after the baby and iam worried if the insurance will approve me then or not.

    Just wanted to see if anyone here ever went through this or something similar.?

    Oh and I was on the preop clear liquid diet for 5 days already.

    happy and nervous <-- thats me right now

    Hi Alisha

    I messaged lasted week to say I am going through the same thing as your friend.

    I went for my 12 week scan yesterday I am 13 weeks 3 days and me and baby are both fine baby is healthy and heart is beating strong.

    I hope everything is ok with your friend

    Amie x

    @ Amielou26 what a relief to hear you and the baby are both doing fine. Congrats to you!

    Thanks for the update, my friend went to see her ob too, they will have to do a scan when she is 10.weeks I guess, so far she is holding up well.

    Out of curiosity I wanted to ask how has your post op nutrition been? what Vitamins are you? Regular and prenates? How do you get in your caloric intake? Last but not least, have you lost any #s? And if yes is it safe?

    Well once again wishing you very best with your beautiful journey :)

    Hello everyone

    I am asking this for a friend of mine who recently had her gastric sleeve surgery. She was expecting her routinely cycle during the surgery, however 3 weeks postop she found out she is preggers!

    It seems like she was pregnant while in surgery. She is freaking out and by all means it is very scary..she is going to see her obgyn on monday, but I just thought I should post here and see if anyone was ever in a similar boat?

    I know someone concieved 2 weeks post op,, but I would,like to know if someone was concieved pre op and didnt knew until after surgery.

    What are the effects of anesthesia and the surgery itself and the pain meds?? By the way she is only 2 weeks when she had her sleeve surgery.

    Thanks for your answers in advanced everyone. I myslef got approved today for my sleeve and waiting for surgery date :)

    My stats

    5'2, wt 220, bmi 40, no co-morbidity.
