I didn't but I have read plent of posts from folks who did. Just let them

Know when you check in, the nurses can provide you with a pad and granny panties (or at least so I've heard!).

Just keep in mind these are medical professionals I'm sure this happens a lot, they will help you handle it.

I started mine the day after surgery. It was 2 weeks early, not sure if the shock of surgery caused it or not.

Hi !! Congratulations on your upcoming surgery ! I'm 3 weeks post op and I feel great! Unfortunately I had my Bloody friend my day of surgery (May 10th) and I was given a granny panty and a pad to use just right before surgery while I was putting on my gown. I was told the hospital will not allow you to go into the operating room with your own personal underwear or pad as everything needs to be clean and sterile through there standards .. I was even given a new pair in the mng with lots of pads for my overnight stay and I was fine..and two days later when I got home it left :)

Thank you and congratulations to you as well . Yes they told me they would give me that right before surgery i was worried because i know they will be putting in a catheter so i didnt know but they assured me is not a problem .

      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.
