Surgery tomorrow at St.Mike's

So I am completely terrified and excited at to the same time!! 

Wish me luck!! Surgery time tomorrow morning at 7:45am!! 

On a side note, has anyone had surgery with their monthly friend?!? And how does that work? I need my undies!! 

 Relax. :) My period started just the day before, they just gave me a pad and panties. Non-issue. I was also terrified, spent half the night on the balcony, watching stars and thinking. Went in the morning totally absent as it wasnt even happening to me. Weird but it got me through. You ll be totally fine, cant wait to see you on the other side

Thanks so much!!

They won't let you use tampons during the surgery, but bring some for your stay if you use them. They will probably give you a pair of "hospital underwear" that you can use a pad in. Don't expect a very good fit! Ask if you can get away with wearing your own undies.

Forget the fear. What will be will be. Focus on positive thoughts -- like the happier and healthier lifestyle you're creating for yourself!

Please update us once you're able to so we can congratulate you on being "on the bench"!

Thank you :)

Hi Sassy! Hope that all went well.... Take care and wish you a speedy recovery!

Thinking of you today - best wishes!

I felt the same way...but as I was waiting outside the operating room to go in, a big calmness came over me...and I figured whatever is supposed to happen will happen.  And it all went fine.

As for your period, they will give you a special pair of undies called fancy pants (mesh) to wear with a pad.  Don't stress about it...you are still wearing your gown when they take you in and put you under..so you wont feel exposed or anything...and before you know it you will be waking up and it will all be over.

Best of luck, and happy healing...remember to walk as soon as you can, and sip, sip, sip.

Wishing you all the best today!
