Surgery is Scheduled: What to do before?

I had zero issues with incontinence, not a single drop. But, these pads were meant for that problem so I knew if I did then I would be OK.
Incision leaking was my issue. I wore a shirt for a while but I just can't sleep with a shirt on. My sheets would get stains on them from the incisions and a stain stick, you know the pre-wash deodorant looking stick you use to pre-treat stains on your clothes, is what I used on the sheets before my wife would wash them and, thanks to the pads (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q1XCM3L) that never made it to my mattress.

Gotcha--now it makes sense. I didn't read it like that. Yes, excellent idea. I have had four prior abdominal surgeries, all of those surgeries were a result of the cholangiocarcinoma I was diagnosed. The first surgery was an aborted whipple procedure for curative treatment. When they found cancer spread to liver they aborted. But, as a result of that surgery I have had 3 subsequent surgeries to repair hernias that developed because of that original surgery. It was only on the first hernia surgery I had the issue. What a mess. Understand the importance now.
