Not a problem at all. Not yet sleeved yet but I am a nurse in a pre op holding area and this will not stop your surgery at all.

Thank you so much, I was really hoping it would not be a problem. Think it may just be nerves, lol

You'll be fine. I started my period the morning of my surgery and the pre-op nurse just told me I couldn't use a tampon and she gave me these super sexy disposable panties and a huge pad. Lol! Good luck! :)

My aunt flo was visiting during my surgery. They made me take my pad off. When I woke up from surgery, I had a thick pad stuck between my legs. It was gross... :blink:

How long before you can use a tampon again? I hate having to use pads, and I too will be starting right around surgery time.

If you can insert it you can use it.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
