WOMENS ISSUES!!

Why, 3 days before the surgery has my :"aunt flow" decided to come visit me??!?!? Do i have to reschedule the surgery? Has this happened to anyone else? All responses welcome. Thanks.

I used to work for a gyn - fertility specialist.  He almost always went ahead with surgery whether or not the pt was menstruating.  Call your surgeon to confirm. Good luck! Jean

my friend had her RNY the day after getting the visit from Aunt Flow...I don't think they'll be any problems! robin

I've also heard that a lot of times people start right away when they have the surgery because it's such a shock to your whole system, so maybe you've just got a head start.  This may be actually good if it sort of (sorry if this is gross) cleans a lot out before the surgery.   Good luck in any case!  (I don't go for surgery until July, but believe me, I'm packing a box of pads because I am almost positive the surgery will trigger this kind of response it me -- it has happened before.)

OH!  YES,   I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE A PROBLEM.     HOW ARE YOU DOING WITH THE WORK THING?    WHAT IS YOUR PLAN?    DON'T FORGET TO WATCH ON THE TLC CH, TONIGHT  AT 9:00PM A NEW SHOW CALLED.   BIG MEDICINE. THE TWO DOC'S THEY ARE FOLLOWING ON THE SHOW ARE RELATED TO ONE OF OUR BANDSTERS, ON THE LAPBAND FORUM.   THAT IS HER DAD AND BROTHER.  I THINK SHE MAKES AN APPEARANCE ON THE SHOW TO GET AN UN-FILL.  ALL LIVE STUFF.   I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT. TAKE CARE MY FRIEND. BRIDGET  K.

My dear darling Aunt showed up the morning of my surgery, ugh...I won't go into details but it was a major hassle, I was taken care of very well despite that inconvenience!!

My period had just finished the day before my surgery. It too came about 6 days early, I suppose due to stress. However.....my nurse (bless her heart) noticed it came back with a vengeance when she removed my cath. I was mortified! She wasn't fazed and helped me get things under control. She told me that the last ** 4** bypass patients she cared for either had it....or got it on the day of surgery. So, it's a lot more common than everyone thinks! Lisa

OH THANK GOD! lol. I feel much better knowing that its common. I didnt get a chance to call the surgeon today. It was my official day to get fired at work, so I was in contact with my lawyer all day. lol. thanks to everyones response. I guess this should be the LEAST of my worries tomorrow. Ok, well I will post from the other side as soon as i can. wish me luck! :>-)

CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR HOW YOU DID,   I'M SURE YOU ARE FINE,  AND GETTING GOOD CARE AT LOURDES. TAKE CARE MY FRIEND, SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE. BRIDGET  K.
