cindyw41 761 Posted January 19, 2016 Ok, so this may be a silly topic and I could honestly still wear my pj bottoms to work(the office is at my moms house). I just don't want to be one of "those people" in public with my pjs on lol. I haven't even tried my clothes on since I've been home. What did you wear in those early days after surgery?

SleevedMetal 3 Posted January 19, 2016 Sweat pants and track pants. It was depressing having to put back on the corporate garb after my disability ended. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glitter eyes 1,398 Posted January 19, 2016 I feel your pain!! I wore loose cotton nightgowns and robes for almost two weeks. I am short and the waistband of all my pants sat right on top of one of my incisions. When I finally started wearing my pants again they were a lot looser. In hindsight I should have purchased a few pairs of loose sweatpants or yoga pants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cindyw41 761 Posted January 19, 2016 I have high waist pants too and the incision at my bellybutton is the worst one. My jeans will be right there. It has been so nice wearing pjs everyday. I've had such a great day that im attempting to go to work tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edotco12 3 Posted January 19, 2016 I wore yoga pants under my belly and my boyfriends hoodies and tshirts out in public. I wore dresses and tights when I had to go somewhere fancy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AvaFern 3,516 Posted January 19, 2016 I wore flowy, loose skirts to work the first week I was back with cotton, soft leggings underneath. I didn't like my stomach being totally free, and the soft leggings over my incisions made me feel better. The skirt made me look like a professional, lol, and no one could see the leggings underneath. I wore flowy, loose skirts to work the first week I was back with cotton, soft leggings underneath.

Tweety40 52 Posted January 19, 2016 How about wearing a bra? I'm going 6 days out and I can't put one one. I wear an underwire one. One of my incision is right in the middle where the bra would lay. ( any bra) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cindyw41 761 Posted January 20, 2016 I wore an old pair of yoga pants, that turned into paint pants along the way haha.. I wore a lose shirt and even a Bra. Overall not a big deal..I had my husband stop at Walmart on the way home for me to buy some new yoga pants and a couple shirts.. (2 sizes smaller!! Yahoo) but the trip had me sooo tired that I took an hour nap when I got home lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaisyAmy 561 Posted January 20, 2016 How about wearing a bra? I'm going 6 days out and I can't put one one. I wear an underwire one. One of my incision is right in the middle where the bra would lay. ( any bra) I'm a smidge over a month out and that incision is still a little sore from my bra rubbing on it. My WL provider suggested keeping it covered with gauze pads, but I've been lazy with that.
