NO PROBLEM!!

My surgeon said the only problem was you could not wear tampons! They will give you these granny panty's to wear that have pads built in and you are good to go!! How cute!! :)

I am sure all hospitals are the same!

Good luck with your surgery!!

Not a problem. Happened to me, it's no biggie as it happens all the time for the medical teams. Just tell your prep nurse, and your surgeon. You'll get these fashionable stretchy, netty type panties to wear, no tampons, take extra pads.

oh yeah, Aunt flo likes to come and freak everyone out before their surgery! Something I've heard alot about is that Surgery makes your Cycle come on... Not exactly the funnest way to go ( Who wants to change dressings in TWO places) But totally ok! Good luck hon!!

First of all good luck with your surgery! Aunt Flo comes when she wants I hate her. Do you know the first question I asked my surgeon was about can I take my birth control pills LOL. What women wont do for not getting a period /

Yep like everyone else said, no big deal. Just let the prep nurses know and they will take right good care of ya! Best wishes on your surgery!! Check in to let us know how it goes. :)
