What did you wear at the hospital?



Recommended Posts

I'm curious what everyone wore after surgery at the hospital? You know, for the walks before you were discharged. I would like to wear something normal other than a hospital gown. I'm not sure what would be better knit pants and shirt or something like a long pajama type dress thing? Suggestions......

I was too tired to care about changing. I just wore my gown with another one worn on my back like a robe.

Gym shorts, my night nurse was awesome and a little off like me so when everyone left I told her I wanted to walk but not with all the monitors and wires, she said if made it to the bathroom she unhook me and let me walk, she did and then lost track of me when I took off down the long hallways, she ended up chasing me down and kept laughing cause all she could see was my gown and bright orange shorts

I still had my catheter and drain in when I took the first 3 walks so I didn't care what I had on as long as it covered that mess up. LOL The morning they told me that I would be discharged, I changed into leggings and a t-shirt.

I had thoughts of bringing a robe and pajama bottoms, but will probably not end up taking them. I just got home from visiting a friend who had her surgery yesterday and she quickly ditched the idea of using the ones she brought.

What with all the tubes, wires, walking, vitals monitoring, overall exhaustion, and fluids being pumped in, modesty, comfort, and the complicated logistics of getting them on and off, quickly gave way to practicality.

I'm being told I'll only be in the hospital overnight. I want to be comfortable but I want to be practical.

I just wore the hospital gown and my own robe over it to walk the halls.

I wore a hospital gown and slippers. When I left the hospital I wore a loose pair of pants and a tank top with a zip up hoodie :)

I'm taking gym clothes.

Nothing more comfortable.

I've got a pair of New Balance slip on shoes that I highly recommend.

They're the best "around the house" shoes ever. Super comfortable. You just step into them or kick them off.

I'll probably buy a new pair by then, too.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
