Ladies.....has anyone had to deal with AFTER SURGERY gas pains, followed by their mental cycle? I will have to because I was not able to choose my surgery date. Was anyone able to choose their date because of this reason? Dealing with recover is a task within itself, however; adding cramps on top of that will not make my recovery any easier. Sorry gents.....TMI!!!!!!

I don't think it's TMI. No worse than all the "Oh look! I can see my penis again!" posts by many men on here.

Lol....very true!

I'm 5 days post op and dealing with it now....I won't lie to you, it's even tougher to deal with the surgery pain and menstrual pain, so I pop the pain pills every 4 hrs just to remain comfy...and I highly recommend having someone to help you in the bathroom/shower because the whole hygiene thing is super tough to do by yourself. Thank God for my fiancé helping me with it all.

I was on my period during surgery. I was on pain meds so it didn't really bother me that bad. I also was asleep a lot so I missed most of it. The worst part was not being able to wear panties during surgery. That was not fun.

So you just made a mess of yourself or did the nurses change you?
