Re: 3rd Lap + few questionsFrom: Shanna (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon Oct 16 15:40:59 2006
Hello, I can only respond to having your period during your lap. I came on the day before I had my surgery. You are put on so many drugs that you will not feel a cramp, at least that is what I experienced. They will not allow you to wear panties so you can either bring or have then give you a pad. The hospital ones are huge. You just have to lay it under you. Trust me I was horrified when I came on and embarrassed. Hey, we are women and this type of thing happens. I did make sure I took pain relievers the night before, right before the time they told me not to eat or drink so I could have a little relief. I wish you the best and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Good Bless, Shanna At Mon, 16 Oct 2006, Hela wrote: > >Hello ladies. > >On Tuesday the 17th I am gonna have my 3rd lap.
