do you wear anything on the surgery table



Recommended Posts

I didn't even want to wear a bra home because of my huge boobs and the incision placement. I did and regretted it. If you have a great cammy with a built in bra, use that instead. They don't provide much support, but who is going to judge you on the ride home. F 'em if they don't like it.

In the surgery prep cubicle I was asked to completely disrobe and then put on a surgical gown-thing, and non-slip socks.

I wore something VERY comfortable and loose so I could wear it home. I also brought lots of clean underwear for when I could take showers. Once you get there you put on a gown and maybe some non skid socks.

In the Or. Your gown is lifted way up to your neck and your arms are strapped down. The Dr and nurses see everything.. ;)

They have to put in a "foley" (urine cath) so forget your modesty. My wife is a OR nurse and she has seen more "twats and *****" than a porn star.

I never had a catheter.

I was worried about the being naked too, but now after the fact it's such a minor thing. They've seen it all :)

My fiance says they cover everything else with blankets...he said they dont want any distractions...I guess that was a compliment saying my body would be a distraction haha

Well, you will be under GA so you will not notice weather or not your stuff is covered up. When you awake you will be covered again :)

No jewelry either. Leave your earrings, rings, watch, etc at home.

And yes, doctors and nurses have seen it all. I worked in a hospital for almost 20 yrs and it really is "no big deal."

I wore a big muu muu type dress to the hospital, took it off and put on a hospital gown. When I was discharged, I put the same muu muu dress on. The only clothes I took otherwise were big undies and a sports bra. I did, however, take a heavy cape that I used as a robe, blanket, and (rolled up) a prop for my arms when I was sleeping.< /p>

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
