Question For The Ladies



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. So my surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 1030 but since I have absolutely no luck I got my period today. Is that going to affect the surgery at all??

No - but they will most likely give you those lovely paper panties with a mega size pad to put on...since they make you take everything off under your gown.

No, they will still go ahead. Just let them know so that they can give you a pad or something.

Thank you for answering so quickly. I'm so glad it's not going to affect the surgery. I woke up this morning and was like "oh no!"

Not looking forward to the paper panties and pad but it a small price to pay!

No worries they have seen it all i'm sure - including people that did not tell them and bled on the table =)

I think the tampons would be ok....but it might hurt a little more tending to them the first few days...A pad might be easier but you could try.

You will be fine, mine snuck up on me too right before surgery and my doc said no problem. And tampons when you get home are ok. Good Luck. :unsure:

No problem! I felt a little silly asking but needed to know.

I'll let everyone know how it goes tomorrow. Surgery is at 1030 so I have to be there by 830.

I thought the same thing---but NO!!! Not okay, for me at least. I was so sore, even pulling pants up and down was quite a chore for about a week, never mind a tampon! If I can recommend anything to you, before surgery, get some overnight pads to come home to...and ask for some extra gauze-like panties to take home, they are sooooo stretchable!

I tried the whole tampon thing and it was a no go for me too. Thank God my little sister had some pads to give me!!

I was just thinking about my April 26th date and my cycle. I am not liking the timing so very well at this moment, but have worked so hard to get here will not change it for anything. I was thinking of asking my Dr. to give me a light dose of birth control pills to change my cycle to make surgery some what easier without having to deal with issues down there.

I wish I would have thought of that. This def would be easier if I wasn't on my period.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
