Unfortunately, you won't be able to wear underwear. Have you talked to your primary doctor? Sometimes they can give you medication to keep you from having your period that month.

I was on my period during the surgery as well. They gave me the mesh net panties to wear a pad with. It's the same ones they give you to wear after you have a baby. No need to worry they are ready for anything.

I was on my period and they gave me these mesh panties with a pad in them. Believe me, they are NOT meant for big girls. I tore one right through the crotch and had to ask for another one. I tore it because I was trying to make the legs bigger because it was cutting off my circulation. Anyhoo.....for future reference, ask them for a pair of scissors and you can cut the legs on the sides a little bit.

It sucked being on my period and I felt it took longer for it to go away. I also didn't know if the bloating was caused by the period or the surgery.

Good luck to you!

Mesh panties aren't just for the ladies. I rocked them like a champ though!

Had to have absolutley nothing on underneath the gown. They just place a big pad under you.

will seem extremly embarrassing but they do this everyday so pretty routine to them so don't get to embarrassed if its how they do it.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
