I am having my egd done this morning and my surgery is on thursday. I have a question for the ladies, will me starting my period yesturday cause any issues with the surgery date. I havent had a period in so long i didnt even think about this happening. i was told once i started losing weight i would more then likely go back to being more regular but i have only lost 25 lbs pre op. What do i do.

 I had my period when I had my band put in and then again when it came out- they had me wear 100% cotton underwear with a pad- don't stress about it it happens all the time.

Just inform the nurse when you are getting prepped for surgery.  You are not the first and will not be the last!!  Just remember - no tampons.

I started mine the morning of surgery. The intake nurse said it's pretty much guaranteed to happen. They're used to it and it won't make a difference. They'll give you a pad to stick between your legs, and possibly a mildly uncomfortable stretchy pair of undies (that didn't fit me at all, lol). No worries!
