I wouldn't pack either, if you are just going to hospital I would wear their gowns, they are just going to be poking and prodding on you. Besides one less thing to decontaminate when you return home.

I was more comfortable in my own clothes. I'd recommend sleep pants and an oversized t-shirt.

I bought pj's with me, but ended up staying in the hospital gown. Between the IV's, the drain and all the other crap it was easier to stay in the hospital gown, but I did end up wearing my pj's home.

Two piece pj's. Even at the hotel it is easier for your tummy and more comfortable I think.

I would recommend pj's or sweats, 2 piece because they often come in to check your incisions and drain and it's much nicer to just pull up your shirt then having to hike your nightshirt up all the way.

For me I wore the hospital gowns in the hospital but pulled on an oversized pair of sweatpants when I wanted to walk the halls. Didn't want to worry about the booty hanging out lol I just pushed the front down under my belly so it didn't rub on anything. They also had big pockets which were great for putting the drain in when walking. Whatever you bring I definitely recommend pockets for that reason.

Since I had another 2 nights in the hotel after leaving the hospital I just lived in a comfy t-shirt and those big sweatpants. I had a hard time finding a good pair in the womens section so I just hit the mens section and found a great drawstring pair plenty big enough to give me comfort room while the belly was healing. I packed that set of clothes and something nice to wear just in case we wanted to go anywhere or go down and eat in the hotel.

I brought 3 nightgowns, and was so happy to have a clean fresh nighty to change into.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
