2 weeks before my sleeve and I'm pregnant. Birth control fail. I cannot believe my life right now. All that work and testing for nothing.

Better to have the baby then get thin after? My hubs and I tried for a couple years then gave up. We just decided that I guess we're one and done so I had the surgery instead. I didn't want to go through the surgery first then baby, then have to lose weight again, but that's me. At least you're healthier now and have established good habits. Sorry and congrats?

Congratulations on the new baby! It'll all work out and you'll have the surgery after the baby is born.

It will all work out!! Just remember why you’re doing it in the first place and it won’t be long and you can go right back at it! Hugs!

If you were already approved, talk to your team to see if surgery can be postponed vs cancelled.

Thanks. I'm going to call my surgeon today. I guess I'll be back in a year or so. Good luck everyone!

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
