solson8201 98 Posted June 12, 2013 This may sound like a silly question, 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorpio Girl 88 Posted June 12, 2013 Depends on your climate. If its warm, a dress is ideal. Someone will help you dress, so bending over isn't a big issue. I'm in Seattle, so I wore loose sweats home and had no trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

solson8201 98 Posted June 12, 2013 Thanks ladies! I have all of these options, so I'm safe :-) I guess I'm getting nervous and this is what I'm choosing to stress out about. Lol! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
labwalker 1,177 Posted June 12, 2013 If it is like my hospital, you will be in a hospital gown right after admitting, and until you are ready to go home. BUT, you will be SORE after surgery, so whatever clothes you bring should be loose fitting and very comfortable! You won't want to wear something that will aggravate your incisions. Slip on shoes might be a good option too, you won't want to be doing toe touching exercises either 1 solson8201 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stept04 465 Posted June 12, 2013 One of the thing they told me not to do was bend over. I wore lose sweat pants and they help dress me. If I could do it over I would wear something like a sun dress. ~~~Stephanie 1 labwalker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gigglypug 77 Posted June 12, 2013 I read somewhere to wear tops with buttons or a zipper rather than tops that need to be pulled over your head... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Debbie3sons 1,936 Posted June 12, 2013 I wore some baggie shorts , after I wore a Loose fitting what they used to call a moo moo dress for a few days like 4 to be more specific then I was able to put the shorts back on it really doesn't matter what u ewhere to the hospital for surgry cause they put u in one of the hospital gowns any way for surgery , it's what u want to be comfortable in on the ride home and something Really Loose fitting is better and take a small pillow that the seat belt will fit over cause u will have tenderness on ur stomache.
