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).

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
