Period during surgery...



Recommended Posts

Sorry may be TMI. My surgery date is 5/18 and its smack dab in the middle of when my period usually comes. Please tell me, they'll let me wear something during surgery and not just use those blue pads for the bed?? Lol. This has been in my mind since I got my surgery date.

So I'm using the implant as birth control, which causes me to have very little periods (maybe one or two periods of spotting a year) and I have not had a period this year yet, but my chooses to come the day before surgery! So I too was worried about how the surgeon and nurses would feel about it but it wasn't a big deal, they just gave me the hospital panties and pads, (you can't wear your own for the operation). When I went back to recovery and my room they did put down those blue pads on my bed, which made me feel like a puppy in training. lol but it was all good, I survived and you too will be fine!

Well after the operation you can use your own, but you probably won't even feel like grabbing your own til the next day when you are able to take a shower and stuff. Well at least that's how I felt. I was out of it until the next day. My surgery also ran kinda late. I finished around 6:30pm. So depending on what time your surgery is scheduled for you may be able to change ASAP if you want.

Oh yea we are the bypass forum, sorry I'm still learning this site/app. Well best of luck to you!

P.S. I've never really taken birth control pills but if you are on them, can't you double up or something or certain days to get your period not show up on a certain day?? I remember a friend mentioning something like this in college

Hormonal bc you might have to stop before surgery because of the small risk of blood clots

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
