lsmith715 55 Posted July 7, 2015 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......

Daisee68 2,493 Posted July 7, 2015 I was too tired to care about changing. I just wore my gown with another one worn on my back like a robe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

laguerr13 993 Posted July 7, 2015 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dollybee 7 Posted July 8, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Candidate 3,215 Posted July 8, 2015 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.

lsmith715 55 Posted July 8, 2015 I'm being told I'll only be in the hospital overnight. I want to be comfortable but I want to be practical. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
donnag53 72 Posted July 8, 2015 I just wore the hospital gown and my own robe over it to walk the halls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hellohealthy 32 Posted July 9, 2015 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dub 9,922 Posted July 9, 2015 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
