Yes they will still do the surgery.

Yes they will do your surgery. You'll need to let the admitting nurse know so that she (or he) can note it in your records and they can provide you with hospital-approved supplies. But they do it all the time, every single day in every hospital and it isn't a big deal.

They won't let you use a tampon. They supply you with pads. They made sure to tell me all about it, but I specifically scheduled my surgery between periods.

Forsythia is right. You can't wear a tampon during the surgery, but you should be able to put one in after of you wanted.

Oh gosh I am so happy I saw this! I am having surgery Nov 5, and that is usually my start date, I am hoping it will wait until after I am home (wishful thinking), but I was thinking the same thing!!!

Thank you for posting this and hope all goes well with your surgery!

Bring baby wipes and leave them in your bathroom in case. I had a male nurse the first day and he left me a bucket of pads & panties in the bathroom as well so he didn't have to get involved ????

I think my surgery caused mine to start early. mine started the night I was released. 1 week sooner than expected. But might explain why my blood count was low while I was in the hospital.

I am so glad I saw this post! I am scheduled for surgery on Nov. 12th and that is the day I should be starting. I remember wearing those mesh panties in the hospital after having my babies... :unsure: Good luck to all you about ready to have or have had your surgery!

Oh, wow, I thought I was the only one who worried about this! I'm due on Monday, and my surgery is Friday (the 14th). I'm praying I'm on time (and therefore just about finished by Friday) but, being the poster child for Murphy's Law, I wouldn't be suprised if it waits until Thursday or Friday to show up. Good 'ol Aunt Flo, always showing up at the worst times lol!

      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.
