ewhitt 112 Posted June 16, 2013 Ok, I feel like this may be the stupidest question I will ask about pre op. But I am trying to get packed for the hospital and I want things to be perfect. I was thinking briefs so they will be just all covering and not riding up anywhere. But then I thought of a pair of bikinis, so the waist band won't lay right on the incision at the belly button.

VSGKirk 855 Posted June 16, 2013 I wore basketball shorts just a few hours post-op and didn't find it problematic. I say bring both and wear whatever's most comfortable! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thoughts? In the hospital they had me in a gown. When I got discharged I wore gym shorts and had no issues with my incisions. 1 LipstickLady reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SerendipityHappens 1,594 Posted June 16, 2013 I wore granny panties. my incisions were above my navel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reigo 111 Posted June 16, 2013 I didn't wear any since they made me strip completely for surgery and since my robe covered everything, I didn't bother putting on the ones I packed. Was easier to use the restroom without dealing with panties. TMI I guess but just weighing in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lisha73 97 Posted June 16, 2013 OK...for everyone this is gonna be TMI...but I didnt wear panties for a week after surgery...I wore my night gown home...had a hard time getting them up and down after surgery...But all the holes are above your belly button for this surgery.

notime 340 Posted June 16, 2013 I didn't wear any either until it was time to go home. The incisions were all up high enough that it didn't matter which style I used for the trip home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DeniseM 238 Posted June 16, 2013 I didn't wear underwear at the hospital either. It was not my first choice, but I was in a lot of pain and it was just easier. I did bring a loose pair of bikini undies to wear home though- I didn't want anything touching my stomach. It was a few days after surgery before I was able to put on undies by myself as well- it hurt too much to bend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fallenangel2904 494 Posted June 16, 2013 Well you can't wear them in surgery obviously lol but in the hospital it's just easier to not wear them, for me anyway. I don't know about you guys but putting on panties after surgery was the very last thing on my mind lol. I would bring a loose pair just incase but pretty sure you won't use them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jsrmanatee 51 Posted June 16, 2013 i brought two pair of shorts with me and i put those on under my hospital gown to go walking the hallways in. for the ride home, i wore sweatpants and went commando-i mean i wasn't stopping anywhere so it didn't matter.

jsrmanatee 51 Posted June 16, 2013 and i still haven't put a bra on! i guess i'll have to to go to the doctor's on tuesday. the incisions are right up there under "the girls" too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reigo 111 Posted June 16, 2013 Pack a very light comfy sports bra or some easy comfy no underwire bra if you don't like being braless in a thin cotton hospital gown because you will be needing to walk the halls. I personally do not like being without bra and was fine wearing a cotton sports bra in hospital Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
