daisydoodle 0 Posted February 8, 2005 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blossom 2 Posted February 8, 2005 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!!

New Hope 37 Posted February 8, 2005 baggy Mexican wedding dress and slip-on shoes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mita 2 Posted February 8, 2005 I had a jean summer dress that was really baggy and sandles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
La_madam 20 Posted February 8, 2005 No bra with underwire since one of your incisions might rub up against the wire in the bra. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeLarla 22 Posted February 8, 2005 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.

Zoe 6 Posted February 8, 2005 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeLarla 22 Posted February 8, 2005 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marimaru 7 Posted February 8, 2005 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zoe 6 Posted February 8, 2005 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iluvharleys 15 Posted February 8, 2005 I wore jeans and shirt in to the hospital, sent them home with DH and wore a muu-muu with no bra home! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leatha_g 4 Posted February 9, 2005 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daisydoodle 0 Posted February 9, 2005 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leatha_g 4 Posted February 9, 2005 Yes, they will. Right on the left 'port' incision, which is the worst one. That's why I taped a guaze over it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
