I had to use the hospital gowns, and didn't wear any of my clothes until the day I left. The gowns are plenty large. I did ask for a second gown I could put on so that I could walk the halls and not worry about my booty making an appearance....so I doubled up and walked.....in the ever so attractive, stockings, IV pole, and double gown....yay!

With Dr. Rod there was no worries on gown sizes. I think since we were all getting wls it would be silky of them to not have large gowns on hand. And after surgery I honestly didn't care what I looked like. That was the last thing on my mind lol.. I just made myself take my walks so I could go back to sleep. The only reason I even put shorts on was so could look at my stomach easier. If you buy a gown it will be a waste of money. I'm one month post op and I'm already down 27lbs. I brought a robe with me and never even used it. If you are going to take anything with you make it gas-x strips and a heating pad.

Those are so pricey. I would think you could buy a cotton nightgown and have a tailor cut open the back and sew in ties for a lot less.

Are you crafty at all? I can't imagine they'd be difficult to make-- just some fabric, snaps at the shoulders, ties at the back? the above idea is a good one too.

If you wanna get fancy I'd check out Etsy-- they have SUCH a cute selection. I totally love =tags&%3Bincludes[1]=title"]this one, can't bring myself to spend the money on it though.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
