What do I wear POST OP(Wks 1-6)

I have only jeans, slacks, etc. Should I get a couple of sun dresses that don't have a band around my tummy like most pants do? Suggestions please! I want to be prepared.

I was a little tender around my incisions for a bit. If your pants are tight in the waistband then yes you may want something looser until you heal. Good luck!

I wore dresses and shorts with string ties

I wore baggy sweats for the first two weeks and after that I wore regular clothes. What ever you get just don't get a lot since they will quickly become too big. If you have a good thrift or second hand store nearby that may be a good option.

I wore jean shorts today, my incisions are all above where my pants hit. No pain and the little bit of pressure seemed to help with some gas. I had planned on wearing maxi dresses all summer, but I don't think I will have to make changes.

The bra area is a little different. I purchased a front close bra to wear to and from the hospital. Today I wore my normal underwire bra, but I had to be very careful with the positioning to make sure it did not touch my top incision which is in the middle right under my bra line.

The front close bra was really helpful for getting dressed in the hospital, it gave me uniboob but it is comfortable so you might want to invest in one.

Personally, I just wore shorts and loose tshirts. Wasn't an issue for me. Guess I was lucky.

Got sleeved on Tuesday, and I've worn only loose house dresses etc. They are most comfortable for me. Couldn't imagine jeans or tight fitting clothes. I don't anticipate wearing anything other than loose fitting clothing until I am healed.

For the first two weeks around the house I wore knit shorts or pants and loose t-shirts. When I went to church I wore a dress with no fitted waist.

What ever you comfortable in

[judyoz 240]

Yep stretch shorts and t-shirts. Go to Goodwill and get cheap ones, because they won't fit long. :-)

I was in jeans 2 days after surgery, so everyone is different. But my doctor had me wearing a stomach binder and that helped quite a bit. So my jeans weren't rubbing or constricting at all.
