ValerieInMexico 162 Posted November 9, 2019 Jammies. Walmart or Marshalls always has cute ones this time of year. T shirt and pull on pants type. They are often as cute as any tracksuit, but not as heavy. Hoody for a jacket. 1 AZhiker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
New&Improved 1,780 Posted November 9, 2019 I got loose fitting pj pants and track pants once they let me out of the gown... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justmetj 421 Posted November 9, 2019 I just wore my cozy sweats and sweatshirt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Midnightsun 129 Posted November 10, 2019 I took comfy gym pants and a t shirt. Honestly, in the hospital I just wore the gown and did not change till I left the next afternoon. Basically it’s about 30 hours you are in there, just grab something comfy and don’t stress about it. Something that is loose around the belly area tho. Good luck with surgery!

Paul Hufnagl 19 Posted November 10, 2019 since i work at the hospital that i had the surgery at i was not going to wear a hospital gown while there. as soon as i could stand i changed into a pair of clean shorts and a tshirt. there is no reason you have to be in a gown. just wear a shirt you don't mind getting dirty because you never know what is going to stain it. I came to the hospital in shorts and left in shorts but this is southern california. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CapyCapybara 107 Posted November 10, 2019 Does the drain irritate when wearing pants? Maybe a silly question, but does it hurt bending over putting pants on post op? I was thinking about getting maxi dresses for after but idk what I’d do with the drain .... sorry OP for mildly high jacking this post had questions like yours and didn’t think it needed another post 😬 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bianca S. 195 Posted November 11, 2019 I wore a baggy T-shirt and comfy leggings and my Birkenstock’s. And that’s all I needed. Besides clothes the other thing I used was my phone and charger as well as chapstick and lotion. Don’t over pack hehe 2 Deedee12 and GothGal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GothGal 47 Posted November 11, 2019 I'm planning on taking PJ tops and really loose pants, plus a front closure sports bra for the girls. And underwear, of course. Anything loose and stretchy. It's winter here in NJ, but since the hospital has valet service, I'm leaving my coat in the car. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
