SURGERY CANCELLED.. DETAILS INSIDE

Well, for some reason, I decided that I was going to go get a pregnancy test JUST IN CASE. We tried for two years to get pregnant, and well we couldnt. Dr told me my weight was the reason why. I was late on my period two month, which is normal for me. I am almost always late. Well, I went and got one done and it said POSITIVE. I went and bought another one to make sure... And it was also positive. SOOOO. I cancelled surgery today and made an OB appt. I am not upset, God did this for a reason. I am alright about it. Alittle dissapointed, but God wanted it to happen. I am not a religous person, but I belive things are done for reasons. My husband is totally excited about it too. He is a good husband and a great daddy to the son we have already. I have been on full liquids for three days now because my dr requires it and I AM STARVING. So we are going out to eat tonight as a celebration. I will still stay on the boards and I will still come on Jan message boards to keep updated on everyone. I will be getting this done after I have my baby. I wanted this for so long, it just dont seem real that I am pregnant. They think I am between 8-12 weeks. Not sure because of my periods... Thanks for everyone support that I have gotten, and believe me, it wasnt for nothing.....

Congratulations Brandi, that is fabulous news. Guess you'll have to monitor the Pregnancy board now too. Lots of good info there for pre-op and post-op WLS folks. God Bless. Jackie

Congratulations to you!!!!!!

Brandi - Congratulations!! You sound like you are dealing well with not being able to have surgery right now which is good, because as you said you can always have it after you have the baby. I know it's disappointing right now but just think in a few months you will have a new bundle of joy. Enjoy your dinner tonight! Pam

That is great news. CONGRATS!!!!!!!! I am so excited for you. God has a plan for all of us and the surgery can always happen afterwards. Make sure to keep us posted on the new baby. ~Dawn

Congrats Brandi!!!!!! I am so excited for you and your husband!!!! I wish you all the best with your pregnancy!!! Please keep us updated as your pregnancy moves along. Now quit reading this and go and feed that baby!!!!! -Sue 6 days left!!!

Hi Brandi, I felt so sad for you when I read the title of your message. Then I read the message and felt nothing but joy for you. CONGRATULATIONS!!! A baby is a heck of a lot better than some ole surgery. Please keep us posted on the little one. God bless you both. Rosa

CONGRATS BRANDI, HUBBY AND SOON TO BE BIG BROTHER! What great news for you and your family. You're right, God wanted this for you all now and that means everything. Keep us posted.

Brandi! Congratulations. Hope you will continue to feel good and have a healthy and happy baby. You can revisit WLS at another time. It is an option that will always be open to you. Take good care of yourself and that baby. Regards and many hugs, Ronna

Thank you all. Today I woke up feeling like a different person. I am going to continue to eat right during my pregnancy, because I had blood pressure problems when I was pregnant with Domonik. It wasnt anything serious, but it was elevated every visit. It is really weird, I actually feel pregnant now. And before I didnt. I think it was because everything about the surgery was on my mind, I didnt stop to think. And maybe because for so long I couldnt get pregnant, I didnt think it was possible because it didnt seem possible. I had symptoms, but I didnt realize they were and my belly is starting to get harder and not flabby. And that pants line in my belly isnt as much there anymore. It still is, but not like it was. How could I not see this before lol??? Makes no sence. I still kinda dont feel it is real, but I know in my heart it is. I am so excited that my husband is happy. I knew he would be. I had no doubt. Today we are going to get me some maternity shirts and pants, because I got so big with Domonik lol that I couldnt fit normal cloths. Lets pray that I dont have another 9 lb baby. lol. PRAYYYYY. lol. But atleast this time I know what to expect with labor. I am going to start a journal, so I will post the link as soon as possible...
