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!

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.
