I didn't but I have read plent of posts from folks who did. Just let them

Know when you check in, the nurses can provide you with a pad and granny panties (or at least so I've heard!).

I started mine the day after surgery. It was 2 weeks early, not sure if the shock of surgery caused it or not.

Hi !! Congratulations on your upcoming surgery ! I'm 3 weeks post op and I feel great! Unfortunately I had my Bloody friend my day of surgery (May 10th) and I was given a granny panty and a pad to use just right before surgery while I was putting on my gown. I was told the hospital will not allow you to go into the operating room with your own personal underwear or pad as everything needs to be clean and sterile through there standards .. I was even given a new pair in the mng with lots of pads for my overnight stay and I was fine..and two days later when I got home it left :)

Thank you and congratulations to you as well . Yes they told me they would give me that right before surgery i was worried because i know they will be putting in a catheter so i didnt know but they assured me is not a problem .

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
