Aunt Flow during Surgery?



Recommended Posts

Hey Ladies HUGE question...I know this is personal and tmi but I was wondering if its bad having your aunt flow start during surgery? Because my Surgery in a week from Monday, April 15th and that is the day Aunt Flow is suppose to arrive and I'm thinking how embarrassing its going to be if I am. :(

It makes no difference at all and they deal with it all the time. You'll likely get a 'sexy' pair of mesh panties to wear and a pad about the thickness of a toilet paper roll....I do recommend bringing your own feminine supplies! More of an annoyance for you than anything :)

No worries. Soccermomma right. They deal w it everyday. I started on the table apparently!! I did warn them tho. It was a total pain in the ass after surgery tho. Dealing w a stupid pad while fighting the IV and all the other wires. Changing it while on bathroom breaks was a pain. I had to have help from my mom. :-). I wasn't allowed to use tampons.

But definitely don't b embarrassed.

Mine started the night before surgery, nurses were totally cool about it. Had to wear the awesome mesh panties during surgery, but my catheter was gone when I got to my room so they let me use tampons. Sweet ladies!

Oh and I was guessing it is going to be a hassle, and I know my mom got my back if I need her LOL but praying that it starts after surgery.

I rarely get them regularly with PCOS, and when I do, they are 7-12 days of holy hell! Well my surgery is in 9 days and I just started today! What tha????? This is my luck! I think it is all the hormones because of the rapid weight loss up until now cause this. Now I understand why I am losing hardly any weight on the liquid diet, all that Water retention. This is no bueno!

I started mine the morning I had my gallbladder removed. I didn't have the mesh panties. I had to "hold" the pad between my legs while trying to get over to the table.

      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.
