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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
