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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
