There was a post just like this a few months back and all the hospital handled it differently (like everything else)

Some got a mesh disposable pad, some just had a pad put under them . This is very normal & common, don't fret over it!

If I miss you before Friday, thought& prayers for a speedy recovery!

Bless your heart. This happened to me too. I was sort of mortified but they were so non-chalant about it. Apparently happens all of the time. No big deal. Just let them know and they will take care of you. God bless your journey!

I too had my cycle when I was scheduled for my surgery. I brought my own pads and word the lovely hospital undies. No big deal at all! Just let your nurse know and it shouldn't be a big deal! Best of luck to ya!

I had surgery yesterday & I started the day before! I think Mother Nature is screwing with us.. Lol

Just tell them & they will give you the netted underwear and pads..

Good Luck!

It's actually not that bad.. It's more uncomfortable due to the gas and bloating. Make sure you take a pillow to hold over your stomach. For getting up and down.. It helps a lot

I've just been relaxing in my recliner and sipping on peppermint tea. I will keep you in my thoughts! Good luck :) .

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
