Hi girls, I had my surgery on Friday and got my period the day before which wasnt ideal. For the surgery you need to wear a pad in the paper pants, my advice would be to put as big a pad as you can get and ask for an extra pair of paper pants.
I find whilst laid down I didnt lose much but as soon as I stood I noticed it so just hold the pad against you as you stand. You only need to wear it for the surgery so can change to a tampon straight after.
