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

I had the same issue for my surgery on August 2. They have these mesh underware they give and if course a pad. Bring extra pads as well because younwill need them for your overnight stay. It all works out and it does not interfere with surgery. Just one more issue for you to deal with.

LMAO...the nurse gave them to me and told me to put them on. I liked her take charge attitude so I did as I was told. Admittedly, I was quite comfortable!

Okay....I have a pretty gross question to ask, but here goes. I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow 9/26 and course I started period yesterday. My period start of pretty heavy for the first few days then lighten up. Now for the gross part. Along with the heavier flow I'm passing these clots (during my period) and I don't know if I should postpone my surgery. I've called the surgeon's office but no one has called me back yet. Did anyone else experience this?

No I wouldn't reschedule ur surgery. There's probably gonna be a wait if u rescheduled and by then u might be on ur period again. They see this all the time. Wouldnt worry about it. Besides, they won't be in ur panties so they'll have no idea anyway. Surgery is short so I doubt you'll leak thru

My period has been like that for almost 13 years...until I got an IUD...u will be fine..the one thing I did notice because of the blood thinning shots I got b4 and after surgery my period was a little heavier..and I started abt 5 days before surgery after not having one for almost 6 months

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
