Crkrjax76 76 Posted June 4, 2013 I'm starting to get nervous and excited. Tomorrow is my last NUT appt and they will submit to insurance either tomorrow or Thursday. Hoping to get a quick approval!! But I knew that I would be needing some stuff for the hospital. So, I ordered some new bras and underwear and a couple pairs of lounge pants. Got a VERY good deal on the bras at onestopplus.com. They were less than $7.00 a piece!! I really hope that will be the last time I HAVE to order online because I can't find clothes to fit from the store!!! I told my cousin I felt like my momma because she always had a "good" gown and robe in the closet and "good" underwear and bras in her drawer in case she ever had to go to the hospital.

Rem 87 Posted June 4, 2013 I brought tons of stuff to the hospital. Never used anything. They have everything you need and really you won't care how you look. Lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have trouble with pants near my incisions. Even if I rolled the edge it was uncomfortable. I have been living in a cheap sundress since I came home Friday nite. It's much more comfortable while I'm healing. One of my incisions is way up high just below my breasts, so my bra has to be somewhat loose there. I wore a different one yesterday, the fit was a little more snug, and the incision was irritated. I don't want that! Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Catgyrl68 66 Posted June 4, 2013 Lemme tell ya - I admit that I am a bit vain when it comes to my appearance. So much so that when my surgeon told me "No makeup... at all", I said, "Yeah, right." I wore the least amount I could get away with because I knew I wouldn't be up to putting any on afterward. Brought t-shirts, shorts (so I didn't flash anyone whilst walking the hallway), all that stuff. Never used one damn thing! I even forgot to bring my hairbrush, so I didn't comb or brush my hair for 2 days; used another hospital gown to cover up my backside, and didn't really even feel like getting up to brush my teeth (and for someone who just got out of 2 years of braces, that was a hard thing to do!). All I wanted to do was sleep, drink Water, and fart (not necessarily in that order - LOL!) I wore home exactly what I wore to the hospital - huge, baggy t-shirt (no bra) and sweatpants (and baseball cap to hide the rat's nest hair). I'm excited for you!! Everything will go smoothly, and you can join us all on the Loser's Bench! 1 ElleG reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BBdoodle 483 Posted June 4, 2013 I was in the hospital gown the whole time = no bra, no panties. You are not going to want to wear panties or anything that is restricting around your stomach. I was home for a week and just wore VERY lose sweat pants and no underware, my incisions were VERY sensitive, I had no staples or sutures just steri-strip to keep them closed. I wore home what I wore into the hospital, loose sweat pants and a lose top. You will not need anything else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crkrjax76 76 Posted June 4, 2013 I know I won't be needing much, but I guess it was just so ingrained from my mom, I just had to get a few things! My poor bras and underwear are ready for the rag heap, and since I got them so cheap, I couldn't pass it up!! I don't really have but one pair of loose pants, so I bought a couple more pair of loose fitting lounge pants to wear to go back to work. I wore them for about a month after I had my gallbladder removed 10 years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deaddemmama 474 Posted June 4, 2013 Oh yeah...my doctor and I have no secrets..lmao ...neither do the nurses the housekeeper...the nutritionist...I think I inadvertently flashed everyone on the floor at one time or another! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Johnnie is really the most comfortable thing you can wear after surgery. I did get a lot of use out of a loose bathrobe that covered my backside when I walked the halls. I have no secrets from my doctor, my nurses, and like someone said, the housekeeper - but there are other visitors who didn't need or want to see my backside.

Won't bother your incisions and inexpensive so you won't mind ditching them in the garbage once you're done with them I bought seven ,used them once ,ow they're in a bag waiting for the goodwill truck to come through the neighborhood for pick up!!
