No reason for them to postpone it, if you let them know then they will handle it appropriately.

Mine is due at the time! They said to let them know because you can't have the shots to avoid blood clots while on period. Be sure to tell them

To a doctor a period is just like any other day. They may make some changes in meds for bleeding after surgery but they'll usually just keep the area well covered and do the surgery anyways. Might not be too much fun for you if you are the type to cramp. Remember no meds but Tylenol. Do not take Advil or Aspirin and even Midol or any meds like that can affect you during surgery because they can thin blood and they could postpone, so stay with the plan and Good Luck!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
