period during surgery

[caligirl78 0]

Sorry to ask this question but was anyone on their period during surgery?

If so how did that go?

I was and was super nervous about it. Tell the nurse right away. They gave me a pad and some throw away panties. You can't wear yours in surgery. When you are out tell the nurses in the room when your transfered they don't give it a second though. They are use to this, we just aren't. They all were understanding and helpful. Another suggestion, bring your own pads for when you get to your room. I didn't like what they had.

Me too! My surgery is May 28, the exact day when Mother Nature is in town for me. Lol

Mine was scheduled right at the same time as Mother Nature so I skipped my placebo pill that week thinking I would skip that month. Well hormones go crazy after surgery and I ended up starting on the day I flew home and it went on for THREE WEEKS! Weird things happen but it's no biggie. Just let the nurse know and she will make sure you have what you need.

Did anyone's Dr tell them to stop the pill? Mine did: a month before surgery.

I stopped taking it on the 6th and it's been rough ever since. Lol. some people have told me if I keep taking my pills it shouldn't be a big deal.

Thoughts?

Did they give you the reason behind stopping? I brought mine with me and they said it was fine for me to take.

[AlyBear 4]

No he just said it's standard.

My life would be a lot easier if I didn't have to stop it.

But then again, not much about WLS is easy, eh? ????
