WOMEN (might be TMI for men)



Recommended Posts

Ladies. I have a silly and embarrassing question. :omg:

I am self pay, went thru seminar, consultation w/ doc, etc... (all preliminary goodies). I was thrilled to get my surgery date. Over the weekend I have realized it is right about the time I will be on my cycle. Can you believe the timing? Do you know if that is a problem with the surgery? Not that he will be operating in that area, but still, I am unsure. Any women have any insight on this? I feel like such a dork for asking, be need the banders to throw in their two cents. Thanks!

It wasn't an issue for me. I lucked out and I wasn't having my TOM then. I have seen other posts about this very subject here on LBT and it seems to be a non-issue for most women. If you are on your TOM they may ask that you wear a pad instead of a tampon but other than that you should be fine!

I started the day after my surgery... wasn't supposed to...guess it was stress, anyhoo was fine. Just really hard to bend and put in tampons LOL!!

I was more concerned they might ask me to change my surgery date. Hoping to avoid that....guess I will be uncomforable either way; TOM and surgery - ha!

This has been asked many times. The answer is always "no problem", and that they will get you by with a large pad and granny panties. :o

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
