Recommended Posts

Question: should I count on going boobie commando for the ride home and for however long after, or will I be able to wear my bra home from the hospital and forever and ever after???

I wore my sweats to and from the hospital and a thirt. I went bra commando for the first full week. My top incision was right where my bra sat so I didnt want to bother it. Even the week I went back to work, I was slightly irritated in that spot when wearing my bra.

I didn't have a problem wearing a bra, I just had to ask my husband to hook it for me!

Just banded on the 7th. Over the head motion no problem. I wore an oversized fleece shirt and elastic waist jeans. I didn't do the bra and underwear though. The bra would irriated the surgery area and panties would make it hard to pull up the pant. As soon as I was home changed into my pjs.

Today wearing all regular clothes and did 1/2 mile walk and about to do another.

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is doing well!

I wore a "track suit" with a t-shirt and flip flops. I did wear panties, dont remember how they got back on though :sad:...and a hook in front sports bra from wallyworld. It was cheap and comfy. I havent tried jeans yet, kinda scared to. I am still pretty puffy from the gas!!! I hope it goes away soon!

Good luck with your surgery!

I wore Yoga pants and a large oversized sweatshirt, granted it was February in North Dakota:) I had a hard time putting my hands above my head at first though, so I would opt for a comfy button shirt if you have!

I wore a pair of stretchy yoga pants and a comfy top. Oh and flip flops! I couldnt imagine trying to put on regular shoes after the surgery.. flip flops made it so easy

Thanks for all the great ideas (and good lucks!). I'm gonna have to go thru my closet to see what I've got. The slip on shoes are no problem but no button down shirts...(*shiver, i hate them). And, I am not going to ask my dad to help me dress (*double shiver). lol

      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'. ???

        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!
