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

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
