(Girl Question) Has anyone "started" the day before surgery??



Recommended Posts

Hi there... I always have my period at the most inopportune time, so yes, when I had surgery, I was on my period. I usually use tampons, but had to resort to pads, since it was going to be much easier. I did find however, that the normal pain associate with my period was not an issue, since I had the other issues that having surgery brought. Don't worry much about it, but mention it during pre-op. GOOD LUCK!

and congrats to you... its the best, most caring thing I have ever done for myself, and I am sure you will find it is for you too. Let me know how you are afterward! We are about the same age, and had about the same amount to go. My surgery and recovery is fresh in my mind. We could be buddies if you need any?

LOL...Nice!

Well I just talked to the hospital and they said it was fine! It's not my dream situation but, I'm not going to cancel because of it. The nurse says it happens alot, probably because of nerves.

Kira I would love to be buddy's!

I started the day after my surgery while still in the hospital. The nurse says it happens alot. Minor inconvience since I was in another city and had no transportation to pick up pads and bring back to my hotel. My mom had to take a cab to walgreens. :thumbup:

I usually miss mine alot... For some reason I ended up getting it 6 days before op. Figured it was because of stress..... Was done two days before surgery, thank God! Surgery went well and feeling almost completely back to normal! Good luck, you go girl! Git R Done!!! :thumbup:

This happens to a lot of girls. My surgery is sometime in November so I dunno if that will happen or not.

I wish you luck on your surgery though. :thumbup::D

I was banded on the 29th and sure enough the day before I got my little friend. The clinic had already advised me if I had my period to wear comfy undies and a pad not a tampon - all was good - Aunt Flo was the least of my worries!!!!!!!

Good question. If I may be so bold, did you guys wear granny panties? I mean, they are going to be working on my stomach after all, won't they be in the way? Won't they see the "wings". Heavens, how embarrassing. I'm scheduled to have that "situation" right about the time of my surgery. Any info is appreciated.

I didn't wear granny panties, but I know what you mean about the wings! I had my surgery yesterday, and of course it was that time of the month, but really, once I got in there, I wasn't really concerned about it anymore. I figured the surgeons probably had better things to do than check out my brand of feminine hygiene products. I guess I'll know for sure if they bring it up when I go get my stitches out!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
