Can I still have surgery if it's that time of the month?



Recommended Posts

I have my surgery date and in my excitment didn't realize till today that there is a good posibility that it will be that time of the month around my surgery date. Does anyone know if they will cancel or reschedual the surgery? Everyone is gone for the weekend at the doctors office and it is driving me crazy to know.

Thanks, you all are the best!

I started the same day that I went in for my surgery and that didn't stop them from doing it, you should be okay.

I had my surgery at that time. I had to get up through out the night to change, but I think that it helped my recovery. The nurses said I did really well.

It was "that time" for me as well. The docs didn't care! I agree that the getting up probably helped with recovery! Good Luck!:smile:

Same here! I was on my period during my surgery and I told the nurse but she said it didn't matter. I had on a tampon. She said the surgery would last at the most 1 hour and 30 min assuming there were no complications. He was done in about 65 mins. Don't worry:) Everything will be fine.

Best wishes to you and yours!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was supposed to get my period the week before my surgery. each day passed and it never came. i was so worried to wake up the day of my surgery and have it but *knock on wood* it waited until the next day when i was at home.

the nurse did ask me before my surgery if i was having my period and if i had a tampon in. just be honest... they see it all the time!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
