Can I still have surgery if it's that time of the month?



Recommended Posts

I have my surgery date and in my excitment didn't realize till today that there is a good posibility that it will be that time of the month around my surgery date. Does anyone know if they will cancel or reschedual the surgery? Everyone is gone for the weekend at the doctors office and it is driving me crazy to know.

Thanks, you all are the best!

I started the same day that I went in for my surgery and that didn't stop them from doing it, you should be okay.

I had my surgery at that time. I had to get up through out the night to change, but I think that it helped my recovery. The nurses said I did really well.

It was "that time" for me as well. The docs didn't care! I agree that the getting up probably helped with recovery! Good Luck!:smile:

Same here! I was on my period during my surgery and I told the nurse but she said it didn't matter. I had on a tampon. She said the surgery would last at the most 1 hour and 30 min assuming there were no complications. He was done in about 65 mins. Don't worry:) Everything will be fine.

Best wishes to you and yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was supposed to get my period the week before my surgery. each day passed and it never came. i was so worried to wake up the day of my surgery and have it but *knock on wood* it waited until the next day when i was at home.

the nurse did ask me before my surgery if i was having my period and if i had a tampon in. just be honest... they see it all the time!

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

      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! 😞
