One of my issues is that I almost never stop <yuck>. It was no problem for me.

You can still have surgery it's no problem. I have 1st hand experience.

Thank you girls ! one weight off my shoulder

I asked about that too as I was sure I was going to get it the day of surgery. The nurse said it was no problem and that it happens all the time. You can even have a tampon in during surgery. As it ended up, I didn't get it then, and I still haven't gotten it a week after surgery. Maybe my body decided to skip a month due to the stress and all. It's always all over the place anyway. They also do a pregnancy test hours before surgery as a precaution.

some OR's require you to wear a pad nstead of a tampon. I pretty muched refused stating that the surgery will take less then 8 hours and i'll be up and walking to the bathroom before that 8 hours is up. One nurse tried to tell me i couldnt wear one in case I needed a foley. lol I was like.... wrong hole. In the end I got my way and wore a tampon

I did and was fine.
