Here's my question. It's very hard for me to predict when my cycle will come on that far in advance. I just wanted to ask if anyone has trouble with heavy periods endometriosis and if they still had there surgery while the period was at it's heaviest. How did it go? Does having a heavy period with heavy cramping during surgery cause additional complications? Also I had abdominal surgery in the past and remember I couldn't wear underwear for a few days. Does the hospital use something to contain the mess of the period if you can't wear your underwear and pads during surgery. My concern is I'm so big in the waist I don't even know if the would have something like a depend would be large enough. I'm a size 30 to 32 pants if it's very strechy as I get very bloated from IBS. 63 inch waist.

I have read on this board that the nurses can just put those chuck-type pads under you. They deal with this all the time, so probably no big deal to them. But ... it's after surgery that it takes a little more effort.
I can say that because I did have my period on my surgery day. Thankfully it was towards the end and not very heavy. When I told my OR nurse that and asked if I could use a tampon, she said No! but they have mesh panties you can wear. I opted not to since it wasn't that bad. Sorry -- I don't know how they size them.
But my bigger challenge was Day 2. When I got out of bed and was walking, I didn't really even think about it. And, yep, there it was running down my leg. Ick!!! My nurse didn't seem all that concerned and just kind of looked at me. I said could I get some wipes of some sort and then I just went into the bathroom and cleaned up.
Isn't it annoying that we have to think about all this too???
