hospital gown size?

[OrchidFan 0]

I just thought of this while packing.. will the hospital gowns fit me? I'm probably a lot bigger than the typical sleever, I weigh about 300lbs and I'm short. I wear a Canadian 5X usually. I have 2 nightgowns packed in case. Is the hospital cold? I know it's going to be near fatally hot outside. *g*

Didn't lose any weight on the preop diet either:cursing::thumbup: Had one bad day but the rest of the time I kept it well under 30 carbs. I even went total carbs not net!

I am sure they will have a hospital gown to fit you -- may be long on you - but I am sure it will fit. Yes, the hospital can be cold - however, it also can be hot ... take a warm robe and you can ask for extra blankets. If it gets hot - don't hesitate to ask for a fan - they will bring you one.

They gave me two gowns, one frontwards and one backwards, to cover the vital areas nicely. that worked fine. The day after surgery I changed in to my own PJ's. More comfortable like that. Makes you feel less "sick" and more like you are just "on the mend".
