With my hemorrhoidectomy, I found that wearing disposal underwear was much easier than dealing with keeping a pad in place, and also trying to keep the pad from pushing too hard on the anal area. I also purchased baby diapers (preemie size) to use as ice packs (wish that I'd heard about this trick before my LIS!), because you can freeze several in ziploc bags, to use as needed, and because they're naturally absorbant, they don't start leaking all over you, and/or your couch and clothing, during use. Congrats on making your decision and I hope that all goes well next week.
