They gave me the disposable stretchy kind with a pad inside, after I protested.

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

I had the same issue for my surgery on August 2. They have these mesh underware they give and if course a pad. Bring extra pads as well because younwill need them for your overnight stay. It all works out and it does not interfere with surgery. Just one more issue for you to deal with.

LMAO...the nurse gave them to me and told me to put them on. I liked her take charge attitude so I did as I was told. Admittedly, I was quite comfortable!

Okay....I have a pretty gross question to ask, but here goes. I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow 9/26 and course I started period yesterday. My period start of pretty heavy for the first few days then lighten up. Now for the gross part. Along with the heavier flow I'm passing these clots (during my period) and I don't know if I should postpone my surgery. I've called the surgeon's office but no one has called me back yet. Did anyone else experience this?

No I wouldn't reschedule ur surgery. There's probably gonna be a wait if u rescheduled and by then u might be on ur period again. They see this all the time. Wouldnt worry about it. Besides, they won't be in ur panties so they'll have no idea anyway. Surgery is short so I doubt you'll leak thru

My period has been like that for almost 13 years...until I got an IUD...u will be fine..the one thing I did notice because of the blood thinning shots I got b4 and after surgery my period was a little heavier..and I started abt 5 days before surgery after not having one for almost 6 months

      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! 😞
