Stupid question
I bought two packages of pads before my surgery because I had read so much about women bleeding for weeks after the surgery. I had some very light bleeding the first day, after spotting a couple times. I ended up giving almost all the pads to my sil. FYI, I had my cervix removed too. I also wonder if that makes a difference.

Stupid question
I asked the doctor what size pads I would need post op and he looked at me like I was a nut. He said nothing more than a panty liner. I didn't believe him so I bought the largest overnight pads I could find...they are still in the cabinet. I have needed the smallest pads possible....more for my own peace of mind "just in case". I have had really no bleeding to speak of.

Stupid question
It varies by individual. Like someone said; some princesses bleed alot and others nothing at all. You just don't know what to expect.
I bled alot. I was so concerned and scared about it that I didn't move unless I had to. They told me it was perfectly normal to bleed as long as I didn't change pads more than 3 times a day or something of that nature. I have no cervix, so that had nothing to do with it for me.
I would have some pads just in case and you can smile from ear to ear when you don't need them and can pass them along to some poor women in sympathy. Enjoy
