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.

bandedinky12 3 Posted September 25, 2012 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallflower 188 Posted September 25, 2012 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
