Uhm question about what to wear tommorrow to surgery

jc2008 · December 17, 2007

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..

Totally nekkid in a hospital gown, and I was given slipper socks to wear so my feet didn't get cold.

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...

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...

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).
