mom2trips06 0 Posted July 2, 2009 My surgery is July 20. I'm trying to get everything in line but I'm not sure what to bring with me. The normal essentials & pjs? Do you have to keep your gown on? What should I bring to wear home? I'm so unsure of how my belly is going to feel...I don't want to be unrealistic of what I can comfortably wear. Thanks everyone!!!

Catherine55 43 Posted July 2, 2009 Definitely don't forget to bring lip balm! You are going to want it after surgery. I brought a loose cotton dress to wear after surgery, and that worked out just fine. I also packed a tank top with a built-in bra, since I'd heard it might be hard to wear a bra depending on where the incisions are. Whatever you decide to wear, just make sure it's really comfy and not tight or hard at the waist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greytz 4 Posted July 2, 2009 I took a bunch of stuff I didn't really need even thought I had to stay overnight. I agree, definitely something for your lips and I wore really loose joggers and a really loose button up shirt. I usually wear underwire bra but I bought a playtex without wires to wear for a couple of weeks. Catherine is right. The larger cut is just below that line. A brush for your hair. Mine was all matted. Don't forget a small pillow to use on the way home. My husband drove me about an hour drive home. The pillow helps with bumps in the road and if you have to sneeze or cough. Also take a little plastic bag in case you have to spit up a little. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
