You would have thought they would do some sort of pregnancy test at hospital before surgery if you are of child bearing age. I feel this was very irresponsible of the medical profession.

Well it is over now. Make sure you take all your Vitamins and check with dr to see if you should take extra. Best of luck to you and your baby.

I am a mother of 4, and I didn't really start to show (in my first pregnancy) until about the enf of my fifth month. Everybody is different, and everybody carries differently (some towards the back, some more forward), so I am sure you're fine. Please make sure to take those Vitamins and consume higher nutrient and calorie meals for the baby--or whatever your doctor has advised! Good luck and congrats!

So you were allowed to have surgery being pregnant?? Wow that is crazy and scary. Congrats though!

I don't think she is allowed to have surgery n be pregnant, but its possible to get pregnant because if you had your period one month n have surgery the next month before you would miss a period you could still become pregnant.

      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!!
