Asked By:ladiialexxiiss in Rochester, NY

About two weeks post breast reduction I started feeling very ill and was having dizzy spells. When I called my surgeons office and spoke to the nurse they told me it was from going under and it would work it's way out of my system.The day of my surgery I had a blood pregnancy test and was told I was not pregnant. An ultra sound confirmed I was about five weeks at the time of sugery. Now I'm concerned with how will this change the results of my operation. And how will this affect my fetus?
