women only

I am just wondering was anyone on there period during surgery?  Embarassing question,  I just started mine today and I am going to have a tummy tuck on saturday.  I know I am not going to cancel my surgery (it took so long to get it), just now sure what to expect. Any info. or advise would be great. Thanks.

I started my period 3 days before surgery. I called my surgeon and he said it was no big deal. I went into surgery with a tampon in and that was that. Most of the post op nurses are female and they are used to women being on their period during surgery. Don't stress about it. It is not a big deal, just sucks for you. I was so mad when mine started (a full 10 days early). You will be ok.

Of course! If I didn't have ba luck I wouldn't have any luck. Plus I'm in peri menopause and hadn't had one for 6 months!  Also as a nurse, I can tell you, no one will care. Just let them know.  Good luck!

 Trust me, they don't care. I was in nursing school for 3 years and the least of what we had to clean up was menstral blood. Not only that they are going to be covered in your blood anyways. 

Thank you for all the info.  I figured I would need to use a tampon, just needed some reassurance.  Thanks again.

 Them's the breaks...  I totally just started mine, and my surgery is on Monday.  Sigh.
