Unfortunately, you won't be able to wear underwear. Have you talked to your primary doctor? Sometimes they can give you medication to keep you from having your period that month.

I was on my period during the surgery as well. They gave me the mesh net panties to wear a pad with. It's the same ones they give you to wear after you have a baby. No need to worry they are ready for anything.

I was on my period and they gave me these mesh panties with a pad in them. Believe me, they are NOT meant for big girls. I tore one right through the crotch and had to ask for another one. I tore it because I was trying to make the legs bigger because it was cutting off my circulation. Anyhoo.....for future reference, ask them for a pair of scissors and you can cut the legs on the sides a little bit.

It sucked being on my period and I felt it took longer for it to go away. I also didn't know if the bloating was caused by the period or the surgery.

Good luck to you!

Mesh panties aren't just for the ladies. I rocked them like a champ though!

Had to have absolutley nothing on underneath the gown. They just place a big pad under you.

will seem extremly embarrassing but they do this everyday so pretty routine to them so don't get to embarrassed if its how they do it.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
