I did the same thing! I wore a really loose sundress and flip flops to the hospital along with granny panties lol didnt want the nurse seeing me in anything else! Haha when u get there they will make u take everything off including undies, afterwards my mom helped me get dressed and the sun dress was perfect! I also lived in nightgowns and really big t shirts... I'm 2 weeks post of tomorrow and that's what I'm still wearing, I still don't like the feeling of anything right around my incisions... Yesterday I tried jeans and it hurt... My port incision is still bruised and VERY sore :( def invest in sum cheap nightgowns, I say cheap becuz before u know it they will be too big!

I never thought of that.... poor men have no choice. They'd look weird in a sundress. But naked in flip flops would be weird too.j/s

Glad you asked that, I did not even think of it. I have been too upset about the fact that you can't wear panties, to think of what I will wear home, lol.

This may sound like a silly question' date=' but what did you wear to your surgery? I promise I'm not being fashion conscious. Lol! The hospital says "something comfortable, easy on easy off". I was thinking sweat pants and tshirt, but will it be too painful to bend over to pull up the sweatpants? Maybe a light dress? Any suggestions?[/quote']

Yoga pants and a loose fitting shirt. They will help you get dressed. Don't forget the pillow for the ride home to hold between your tummy and the seat belt.

That is not a silly question and I'm sure no one is laughing.

Please feel free to ask any question that is lapband related.

I wore elastic banded pants home and eventhough they were lose it did put pressure on my incision, so if you have a loose dress you'd be better off and make sure you have slip on shoes like mules, slide sandals or a pair of slip on shoes.

You're going to do great!

Well, the sundress and sandals were the perfect choice. I'm all done and resting comfortably at home. Thanks for all of the advice everyone!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
