Hee, hee....Did I get your attention? Well, this is a legit post. I just wanted to know what everyone wore home from the hospital. My doc says "loose fitting clothes."

Well, if all of my stuff wasn't so darn tight, then maybe I wouldn't be needing this surgery so bad.

Seriously, sweatpants? Should I go out and get something that's really loose? Just wondering?

I'm gettting sooooo excited!;)

You really will want something loose and comfy around the belly.

I wore some pull on capri type sweats, t-shirt, slip on shoes, an old stretched out sport bra and my biggest undies. I was a fashion queen, I tell ya!!

Oh my gosh, I wish I would have thought of this during my original band surgery or my other 2 surgeries in Mexico, but I finally have the answer to this post: OVERALLS!

I wore overalls to my surgery last week. I brought a couple cute t-shirts and extra panties. Overalls are big and baggy and have easy access... the perfect outfit for surgery, and it's always fun looking like a farmer. Plus, you save all that "pants" space in your travel bag.

No bra with underwire ...
Make that no bra, period. I wore a muu-muu and flip-flops, but then I was in Mexico in August.

But if you have big boobies, wear a soft bra. I went to Mexico without a bra and had to put Kleenex under my sweaty boobs. And mine aren't even that big!

Pajamas! I didn't wear a bra either, but I was able to wear one the day after surgery to go walking around. But I wore pajamas that had pants and a little tanktop. They let me change back into them after surgery too.

I like the overalls idea tho...

Neither are mine, DeLarla . . . but I'm in my late 40s, if you catch my drift. I'd rather deal with the Kleenex than with all those hooks, and I was too sore to put on a stretchy sports bra with no closures. This may be too much information, Daisy, but at least you know a lot of us have given the subject some thought!

No bra here either. Although, I did put some gauze over the incision that was just under the left sister. ;) I wore a very loose fitting dress. There's no way I could handle any sort of waist band.

Okay, no giggles on this one......

But if you don't wear a bra, don't the "girls" kinda flop down on your tummy? I mean I don't want the boobies rubbing on an incision!

And I'm just not a "dress" kinda lady. If I wear some big sweatpants will the elastic in the waist rub in a place that's tender?

Am I overanalyzing this? (that's my specialty!)

Maybe I'm just so darned anxious that I'm obsessing over everything!

Yes, they will. Right on the left 'port' incision, which is the worst one. That's why I taped a guaze over it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
