Were any of you on your cycle for surgery, and was it a problem. I have waited 5 months and guess what is going to show up at surgery time. I don't figure it will be, but just thought I would throw it out there and see if any one had an issue with it.

Hi I'm going in on Monday and I've just got mine I rang the surgeon an he said its not a problem but u have to tell them on the day u go in surgery so they know in theatre they said its not a problem though

Hi there! I'm having my surgery today While I do not have my "monthly" right now, my information just mentioned to wear a pad instead of a tampon for the procedure.

Hope this helps! Best of luck

Hi Nenny thats good to know as i was told either so i will go with ur advise on that one. can i ask how did u go with pre op diet did u follow it properly

I can honestly tell you they got 85% compliance... There were a few meals in there but I tried to stick healthy and Protein heavy... I've lost about 10 lbs in the 2 weeks I was on it I'm quite pleased with that.

Thanks that helped, getting my band on Tuesday

That's made me feel better I've been panicking a bit as 3 days of diet isn't long to prepare but some ppl say there doctors tell them one day of shakes before op an that's all they need

House mouse are u nervous

Excited and nervous, but ready for my life to change

I just had my pre-admission testing, and lucky me, my "friend flow" will be joining me on June 6 th for surgery. Nurse said not a problem, just no tampons. I think I will wear a "depends" LOL. I'm nervous, and ashamed. I've been eating like crap. At least my cravings will be over by surgery date - guess that's good

i was just finishing mine up...i wore a pad and some totally unsexy hospital undies..i figure if knows my starting weight 336, i am sure my little period blood wont bother him...try not to worry, surgery is over quick

Being on your period isn't a problem. Make sure to wash well and 'tidy up' down there in case they need to do an in and out cath. Period blood is def. not the grossest thing nurses see. The doc won't see down there at all.

I hate to break it to you, but the band goes around your stomach, not the other place.

Terry, Did you see the header on this forum? It said ladies only! However your comment made me laugh hysterically!

Lmao but he is right. Your cycle should not interfere bit I would warn the doctor none the less.
