I was curious to know if the surgeon will still perform surgery if your on your period? If so, which is okay to wear, a tampon or a pad? Hope this isn't too weird of a question lol

I was on my period as well during surgery and I was not able to use my own pad or tampon. They gave me a pad.

Me too, the nurse said this happens a lot. LOL due to hormone changes during pre-op diet and stress.

That's really good to know! I'm almost in menopause & can't predict when I'll have my next period.

Thanks for asking this question!

So funny you asked!! I did ask that at my appointment with my surgery on Friday. He said they will still operate. He said that the nurses have seen it and will deal with it.

I started my period the morning I had my gallbladder out. Quite interesting trying to get onto the table and hold a pad between your legs!!!! I'm going to start mine any second, so hopefully I won't be when I have this surgery!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
