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.

I had surgery yesterday & my period had started on Sat. Figures right?! You'll get nice mesh panties & some maxi pads. Gross, but trust me you won't care!

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!

      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.

      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.
