So I'm due for surgery the 24th and I'm also do for my monthly do we get completely naked in surgery or just tops ? Can I still have surgery on my monthly? Forgot to ask yesterday at the office.

There was a topic on this not to long ago, I will be in the same boat, surgeons have no problem let them know , you will not be able to use a tampon(ugh) but other then that there is no issue, oh and you will just have a gown on for surgery top and bottoms off

Yes, you have to be naked except for your hospital gown.

Being on your period isn't convenient but it's no big deal. They deal with it all the time. You definitely can have your surgery while on it.

Well that just sucks . I hope it comes the day after like it should but you never know thanks ladies.

I'm reading responses and just as an FYI, I wore paper panties they gave me before surgery. They barely fit..which was even more of a reason for the lapband. Just wanted you to know as not all hospitals have the same protocol.

i was just finishing my TOM and i remember telling my dr i would be on it and he said its not an issue..i wore my panties and a pad.....so not a big deal...i am sure they have seen just about everything

Im funny about that lol i dont like my husband to even know im on lol.. but if i must i will report im on the mother natures time.. he he thanks yall!

Interesting my friend just came today and i have surgery tuesday...maybe it will be done with by then but if you arent allowed a tamlon nor underwear what are you supposed to do? Do you just place a pad there?

I have a defect in my uterus and have my menstrual for sometimes up to 80 days, so this was my first question. My doctor was very sweet and said it happens often and they would give me paper panties and a pad to wear. The procedure is not long and they do there best to keep you covered and my privacy is there 1st concern next to my safety. It will be okay! Congrats on the surgery date!
