I just had my surgery and am post menopausal, and they made me do a pregnancy test the day of surgery.

I haven’t had a period in 10 years and I had to have a pregnancy test the day of surgery.

I told them if the test came back positive, they’d be witnessing the start of a new religion. They still made me take it.

Dang and I had just invested in a new telescope so I could see that Star in The East! Does Amazon. what to do a Return?

Hello. I also have PCOS and I don't ovulate therefore I'm hoping wls will help me in that area so i may eventually become pregnant. If you don't mind me asking, what surgery are you getting and where are you getting it done? Thanks!

How are you doing after surgery @saygrace?

it definitely will! from what i’ve read, after surgery you’re extremely fertile so if you don’t want to be preggers be extra careful!
i got the sleeve done this past wednesday!

@tealael i’m doing pretty good! i stayed in the hospital for two nights, so i got home friday afternoon. most of my pain has been manageable with just tylenol which is fabulous. and i got my period my first day home, woohooo!

I missed all the drama but got here in time for saygrace's good news.

I wonder if they test men for STDs before surgery?

If they did I imagine they would test women for STDs too.

Okay- so I had to take the test, too- even though I have an IUD and literally had my period the day of surgery.

But- it could be very catastrophic for you and the potential fetus if you were pregnant during surgery... so better safe than sorry. It’s peeing in a cup- which is a painless (for most) thing to do. It’s not like they’re doing a spinal tap to see if you’re pregnant.

My hospital didn’t. Neither did my docs office. My plastic surgeon did. My endocrine surgeon didn’t. Varies by hospital/surgery center.

I mean I get it that some of them want to cover themselves and don’t want to take your word for it... but some do take your word for it. It’s not consistent. In case you’re wondering I was over 40 post menopause and had my tubes tied. So 🤷🏼‍♀️

I don’t know, I had a test done even before surgery in my ankle. But I’m also in my 30s. So maybe there’s a certain protocol based on age
