i actually started my period right after surgery. both with my RNY and plastic surgery. I was told that it was something about trama to the body and throwing your body into your cycle. i doubt it will affect your surgery date.. good luck!! its all worth it in the long run..

I started my period the morning of surgery right at the hospital when they were preping me to go in. That is not a problem at all. They just wont let you wear tampons in the hospital.

I started 2 days before and was so worried. I called my surgeon and he said it was fine just let the nurse and them know when I got to the hospital. I was no big deal!!

Like everyone has posted it's no big deal. Mine started right after surgery (was 2 weeks early) and the nurses were prepared for it. They said it happens more than you would guess.

I started three days before surgery. They wanted me to wear a pad during surgery. The day after I went back to tampons. No worries. Laura

I woke from surgery with my period...Surgery often makes a woman start her cycle whether it's due or not...if you get it, before surgery, at least you are not shocked...if you get it during...docs are used to that...So don't worry, just bring you favorite supplies just in case or use what the hospital has.
