There was a post just like this a few months back and all the hospital handled it differently (like everything else)

Some got a mesh disposable pad, some just had a pad put under them . This is very normal & common, don't fret over it!

If I miss you before Friday, thought& prayers for a speedy recovery!

thanks.... it's so close & i such a heavy bleeder, they'll need several pads for me :-\

i was just finishing up my cycle.

not a big deal. i am sure those dr's have seen that and worse ....i wore my undies and a pad

Bless your heart. This happened to me too. I was sort of mortified but they were so non-chalant about it. Apparently happens all of the time. No big deal. Just let them know and they will take care of you. God bless your journey!

I too had my cycle when I was scheduled for my surgery. I brought my own pads and word the lovely hospital undies. No big deal at all! Just let your nurse know and it shouldn't be a big deal! Best of luck to ya!

thank u Mrs cmk, just so anxious cuz i wouldn't want to have to reschedule again.... thanks ladies, u all are fabulous :-)

I had surgery yesterday & I started the day before! I think Mother Nature is screwing with us.. Lol

Just tell them & they will give you the netted underwear and pads..

Good Luck!

It's actually not that bad.. It's more uncomfortable due to the gas and bloating. Make sure you take a pillow to hold over your stomach. For getting up and down.. It helps a lot

I've just been relaxing in my recliner and sipping on peppermint tea. I will keep you in my thoughts! Good luck :) .
