Surgery day question- girl stuff



Recommended Posts

I am having my surgery in 4 days and I am just about to start my period. Anyone else have to deal with this on day of surgery and first few days after? I'm so frustrated about having to deal with the whole situation including extra pain.

Yes!!! I got mine the day before surgery. It was very unwelcome. It was hard to deal with that during surgery (you can't wear a tampon and had to wear mesh underwear and a big pad) and afterwards I could use a tampon but to bend down to put in was so painful. Sorry, maybe the stress Of not eating presurgery will delay it. No other major issue with it, just annoying and could have definitely done without it. Period.

im so happy someone asked this cause I'm 7 days away from surgery and i can tell my period is coming so if i literally don't have it today or tomorrow I will either be on the last day of it or on it during surgery and that sucks! "and I have pcos and hardly even get my period, so what a time to -_-"

I started my period the day before surgery and there was no issue. And honestly, while in hospital i didnt even worry about it. I mean i wanted to shower and stuff and was eventually able to the next day, & i hope this doesnt gross anyone out but i didnt even worry about pads or anything. I brought them with me and ended up not using them and just laying on a big pee pad looking thing they put down anyway.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
