Hi everyone, My lap band surgery is scheduled for 12/12. I have had no indications to believe I am pregnant, other than hubby and I have been having ALOT of sex within the past 4 days. I had my period last month and it's not sue yet for December, but now I curious to know what would happen if it turns up that I am prgnant and my surgery is next week? I wouldn't know I was pregnant until after my surgery. Would it be a problem?

Congrats Chris cant wait to join you in 5 days!!!! Hope all continues to go well with you and keep us posted.

Great post! Sounds like you had a good experience (well as good as surgery can be! lol). I hope you are doing well with your recovery I am super excited for Dec 27 when I go in for the first day of the new me!

At least littler. Dr Matin in Irving Texas, will be doing my surgery at Irving Baylor. He did the surgery on my wife 18 months ago. It is now my turn.

I'm almost embarrassed to say I had a "text book" experience . . . checked in, did all the sticking and stabbing with needles . . .down to preop - with 6 other people who were all "first". My Lord, you have a nurse, anesthelogist and doctor at each bed . . . along with relatives . . . it sounded like a bee hive. And then we rolled . . . and the last thing I remember was someone saying they were putting another IV in my arm "in case .. . " and I was out. Never did find out WHY they did that . . . and I had to tell each nurse "got me". I woke up in recovery and was there for an hour . . . and then back up to the room at 11:00 am. I wasn't expecting to spend the night - but they said outpatient is anything up to 24 hours . . . so I figured I might as well stay there where they could keep an eye on me. I never went to sleep until 11:30 last night. I had the pain medicine once when I got up to the room, and once about 10:30. Haven't taken any today, but I might now that I'm home and can really rest a bit. Was up walking the halls by 12:30 and then made a point of doing it every 2 hours. Then room service came and I'm going "huh???" and she had 4 bottles of water and 4 bottles of Propel . . . my food lol. I haven't had much pain for gas . . . just a slight bit in the shoulder, but the gas-x helped that . . . I LOVED the leg things . . . I don't have anyone to rub my legs and feet . . . so that was a treat! The poor woman in the room next to me did not fair quite as well. She had nausea quite a bit, and was crying when they were trying to get her up walking. However - today she was walking the halls too . . . and smiling a LOT . . . So that is my beginning journey - and I'm hoping everyone else has good stories too!
