May Surgery Dates???



Recommended Posts

My surgery date was scheduled for the 23rd but now it has been postponed because I found out yesterday morning while I was about to be put to sleep and I still had the IV stucked to my arm that I was pregnant. The nurse rushed in and told me I'm pregnant. So it will be postponed until after baby is born. Big shock and surprise to me.

Oh wow. Congrats but wow.

And to think it irritated me when they made me take a pregnancy test twice (hadn't missed and was on point) guess there truly is reasons they make you do all sorts of things.

Good luck on the new baby an the banding after

oh wow!!!! congratulations for the baby! I had the EGD in the same place than you, I imagine the nurse running with the results! anynways, babies are always a blessing and the best wishes for you and the baby!

Thanks girly! Yes I had the IV in my arm and was about to be put to sleep and I asked the nurse who gave me the IV was everything okay with my urine test because I seen her handing it over to a nurse. The nurse came back and said ummm your pregnancy test came back positive but it's a little light do you want to take another test just to make sure? I said yes so here I am trying to pee in a cup with an IV still in my arm. lol! Second test came back positive and I asked if they can share the news to my husband who was waiting with my 2 girls (age 3 & 7) in the family waiting room. We were all in shock. I also went to my OB/GYN that same day and did a blood test and they called me this morning and confirmed I was pregnant. It's exciting and Cari called me from True Results to crongratulate me yesterday. Thought that was very nice of her. Who knows I might lose a lot of weight chasing 3 kids around and working full time I might not need the lap band but I know that I can always have it done after the baby comes. Thank you everyone!

Yes God works in funny ways sometimes. But I do believe he had this planned for me.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
