Well, I currently seen a story about a lady that was pregnant when she had surgery.. Neither her nor her doctor knew that she was pregnant because before surgery they only do urine test which she was too early to detect it.

Well well well comes to find out I'm in the same situation and it is killing me. I had surgery on March 29 and at the time I was 2-3 weeks pregnant... Everyday it is hard BC I am sooooooooooooooo sick..

Oh wow! Congratulations! I imagine you are probably scared to death, but just hang in there! I'd like to say the morning sickness doesn't last forever, but it sure feels like it and with just having surgery, a lot of the helper things are gone like hard candies and ginger ale. Praying for you and your little one to have a safe and healthy 9 month.

Make sure that you bring your nutritionist onboard to help you with this problem.

Wow. Congratulations and best of luck with your pregnancy.

This does surprise me because of the stress my surgeon placed on birth control and pregnancy prevention/testing pre-op. I am a 51 year old single woman who is not in a relationship and it would be a miracle if I were pregnant, and still got all the education and testing to make sure I was not pregnant.

I agree to make sure that your NUT, OB/GYN, and bariatric team are all looped in.

Sending you hugs and wishing you and your family all the best!

The day before surgery I decided to take a pregnancy test due to the reason that it had beed 9 days past the day I was suppose to have gotten my period. To my surprise it was a faint positive and after a complete 5 minutes it was clearly a +

I was scared, angry and everything because I had waited so long to have the surgery and at the end a positive pregnancy test was about to stop me. I decided I would go in and not mention anything as in the hospital they would obviously do a pregnancy test. I do admit Since all I was able to drink after midnight was the special gatorade drink and Water, I did have a lot of Water to ease the hunger up until 2 hours before I went to the hospital. To my surprise the urine pregnancy test was Negative at the hospital. That was such a relieve for me. I got my surgery and 2 days after surgery while at the hospital I got my heavy period.

I wish this was my case.. Do I feel horrible for having surgery? Yes I do. My doctor told me I was the 3rd case my question is why they haven't started doing blood test to avoid this? 3 strikes you out I feel blood test are always better this could've been avoid..

Prayers that all will be okay. I would encourage anyone having surgery and there's any possibility of pregnancy to request a blood test.

This is sooooooo true. I should've asked for blood.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
