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 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.

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.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
