Well, I am having surgery in 1 week, and I think I may be going in with a monthly visitor..... So not cool. What do they do? I am hoping it will come this weekend. EEEW.

I got mine the morning of my surgery. They have a hospital pad and those beautiful hospital underwear. Once I was out of surgery I was able to use a tampon again

I was lucky enough to get mine the morning of, too. They have me the hospital undies & I had to wear what felt like diaper sized pads but they said its common and they don't think about it.

Even if you don't get it that day chances are it shows up right after. I had mine for my striture surgery. Gotta love the sexy mesh undies and the hay bale they give you. lol

I have had my period for every surgery I've ever had. I've gotten used to the rules so I go in with a pad (no tampons the morning of surgery) and when I arrive I tell my first nurse the deal. They have always let me wait until the last minute to take my undies off and then shortly after i leave recovery they let me put them back on. It's no big deal, although I was mortified the first time!

I had mine.the day before surgery. Actually it was good because you don't feel its pain thanks to the pain meds they give you at the hospital. They will give you the hospital underwear and a pad. Once I was able to leave bed, I changed to my own pads and undie.

I had mine too!!! [] I wasn't allowed to wear underwear/ tampon into Surg because they insert Foley catheter ..... But the next day the aide helped me to bathroom to put on pad & underwear..... There should be a "chuck pad" under you to catch leakage!!!

They told us to bring pads because some women have some menses post-op. so I have thin ones for the stay.

LOL "Hay bale"!!!

Or depends..... Actually I think Depends is a hell of a lot smaller.....

So not sexy :-/

Well, this is the first time I am glad it came! Dodged that surgery grossness.

Surgery in approx. 12 hours and my visitor decides to show up now...nice. And I have absolutely no pads in the house. Haven't used them in years. What a blast! Lol...thanks for letting me know it isn't just me

I started about a week early (the day after surgery) and it was a whopper of a flow so maybe bring pads you would usually use.

They gave me these odd panties to wear but they were great about it. Just waiting on the people with the drugs

Sounds like the odd panties I was given by the nurse after I gave birth. I hate those hospital pads, I sent someone to get me my own pads as soon as I could.
