Tell me what you are wearing.....

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!!

baggy Mexican wedding dress and slip-on shoes.

I had a jean summer dress that was really baggy and sandles

No bra with underwire since one of your incisions might rub up against the wire in the bra.

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...

Zoe · 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!

I wore jeans and shirt in to the hospital, sent them home with DH and wore a muu-muu with no bra home!

leatha_g · 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.

daisydoodle · 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!

leatha_g · 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.

Katie328 · February 9, 2005

I went really ugly sweatpants and a hugemongus shirt sans bra (and I do have bigger boobs ) lol...hey I was ready to go home and didnt really care what ANYONE was thinking!!
