Uhm question about what to wear tommorrow to surgery



Recommended Posts

i am having my surgery done tommorrow morning, and this is about the oddest question, but am i like totally naked in a hospital gown? I am assuming that would have to be true ? or do i get to keep my underwear on? or ?

I would assume totally naked as they need access to all of the stomach area, but just wanted to make sure

sorry for the silly question..

But, girlfriend, your gown is on backwards so you feel like you have a "dress" on :)

Everyone is so professional and the time just flys by, so you won't have time to be embarrassed.

The very best of luck to you...:D

Yes, girl, you are totally naked underneath. It is uncomfortable to lay around like that waiting, but my nerves were more of what I was concerned about, but how about this, when I lay in my hospital bed waiting for surgery, my feet were facing the nurses station, so if I were to move around I had to be REALLY careful. But its all good. Just dont worry about it.

:) I think we've now sufficiently scared you to death (like you weren't already nervous!)

What I DIDN'T tell you is that you are also covered with a sheet laying in the bed! So, it's just like you're at home in bed, only they wheel you around---whee!!!!

Hey kiddo, it'll be over before you know it! Let us know how it goes...:D

Heh thanks guys. I figured i would be, since its surgery and all, I just wasnt entirely sure and didnt wanna wear ugly underwear!

Got my maternity dresses ready to go for tommorrow to come home in. They are about the biggest things i own (hit my top weight ever at 9 months pregnant heh).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
