Question:
I was pregnant but miscarried and 6 days later got approved for surgery
I am in a state of shock. I went to my surgeon June 20, 2000 to get reevaluated for surgery and approval from insurance. and found out July 6, 2000 I was pregnant. Tuesday Aug. 2, 2000 I miscarried. Today I finally got the letter from my insurance stating that I have been approved for surgery. I can't believe this. I don't know what to think. I do want to know if this has happened to anyone and how long after a miscarriage do you have to wait for surgery? I am happy I got approved but sad because I lost my baby. — Stacy P.

I can't tell you anything about when you can have have the surgery because
I don't know. What I want to say is that I am very sorry for the loss of
your baby. It has to be one of the worst experiences that a person can
have. I'm very glad that you have gotten some good news to focus on. Even
if you have to wait a bit for your body to heal, you at least know that you
are approved!! It should be much easier to carry a pregnancy to term once
you have lost weight also. If you need someone to talk to, please email me
- [email protected]. I'm always willing to listen, even if I can't
help with advice.

Stacy, My heart goes out to you. I am so sorry for your precious loss. I
don't have any of the answers to your questions. I just wanted you to know
you are in my thoughts and prayers. Good luck on your journey, and may God
Bless You. My husband sings a Christian song about Jesus with his rocking
chair. He'll take care of your baby for you, until you meet again. Love,
from my heart -

Dear Stacy,
I really think it depends upon how far you were into the pregnancy. I
miscarried in February so it wasn't even an issue. My GYN wasn't concerned
about me doing anything afterwards. I wasn't limited in anyway. I also
believe it depends on whether it was complete or not and did you have a
D&C. Best advice: Call your GYN Good Luck!
