I am having my MMO very soon and I am trying to prepare in getting my supplies. I know I need sterile Gauze for sure. But do I need the abdominal specific gauze pads? Also what about medical tape? What is the best brand/type that will adhere to my skin?(non surgical area obviously). Thanks

Answer: Supplies I have my patients get thick panty liners than will stick to their binder or panties and not stick to skin or my tapes. These are clean and much cheaper than sterile gauze. You will not need sterile gauze on closed incisions. If an open wound develops, then will you need them.

Answer: Confirm with your surgeon Great question- most surgeons will not require sterile gauze. Every surgeon has a slightly different post operative care regimen. I would recommend confirming necessary supplies with them. Supplies needed depend on drain placement , how incisions are dressed at the end of your procedure and the possible use of compression garments. Hope this helps !
