I understand why you're a little nervous about it, but I think unless there's a particular reason not to (if you tend to lose a LOT of blood during your period, such that it would make you dizzy or anemic) I don't think it will be a problem. Just let the pre-op nurses know, and they'll make sure you're taken care of.

They're medical professionals, and they've seen it all. Don't be embarrassed! Just call your surgeon's office and ask, if you're concerned. I really don't think it should be an issue, though. I imagine lots of women have had their periods during various surgeries.

exact same thing happened to me. started TOM 4 days before surgery. havent had TOM in months. Grrrr. wasnt bad. pain meds actually helped with cramping. i told nurse and she indicated it was okay if i had a tampax during procedure. I hope it goes lighter for by the time you reach the table and good luck. You're not alone and they are use to it. :)

That's what happened to me. I told the nurses and they all were good about getting me the special underwear and plenty of pads. I even leaked onto the hospital pad on top of the bed, because I was laying there for so long, and they cleaned that up right away too. I was embarrassed, but they were all so nice about it and made me feel much better about the whole thing.

I got my period the day before surgery I was so upset because I thought the same thing that i was going to be Laying there in a pool of blood. They put a pad down and had me lay on top of it. Because of the blood thinners it made it even thinner than it usually is. Luckily because of the pain meds my cramps were not bad but now it's been 19 days since surgery and I think I'm spotting. I hope this is normal

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

      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! 😞
