Warning: the following post has TMI

So, surgery is on Friday (!!!!!!!) with Dr Ortiz, and we are flying out in two days. But, wouldn't you know it, I started my period today. I'm very irregular and have no idea when it's ever gonna hit, and of course it comes today.

So my periods go like this: so my heavy days are always days 3 and 4, which means surgery day. Anyone else have this issue? What do they do? I usually use tampons, but can I do that? Do I need to go buy pads?

This seriously blows.

I would get pads. It will not effect you r surgery though!

Don't do a tampon during the actual surgery unless your surgeon ok's it.

Hey coopspa!

I'm not sure which Dr Ortiz you are going to but if it is Dr Ariel Ortiz, you will be given a funky outfit to wear just before surgery. This includes pressure stockings, hair cover, gown and....paper underwear. Mine ripped when I sat down lol. So u might want to bring both (pads and tampons) and just ask one of the nurses which is best. I also slept for several hours after surgery so you might be more comfortable with a tampon? Just my $.02

Tampons should be fine it all cases BUT just remember some ladies have a difficult time bending over. I didn't but it does happen

Just let your nurse of doctor know if you have a tampon in. Please! Lol
