  2. Yeah, I'm 22 and been heavy since I was about 9. I don't even know what my skinny self looks like yet. :/ I have had a minor operation before but i was allowed to keep my underwear on (i hadn't developed yet so i didn't give a hoo-ha about my girls).
  3. Really I think its both!! In my opinion, if they're not operating on me down there or up there (yes I know incisions will be close to either area) it shouldnt matter if its covered or not. I don't care if they get blood on my undies or whatever, they're replaceable ...
  4. Thanks everyone for your feedback! I'm curious too about my chest region... What if I said that I'd wrap some sterile gauze or an ace bandage around me to make sure that nothing up top slipped or showed? I sound crazy for wanting to take such drastic measures to stay covered but you have NO idea... lol Do any of you think that underwear and gauze/ace bandage would be a huge deal for them to be respectful of? Thanks! and keep the replies coming! this is helping!
  5. I'm curious, what, if anything were you allowed to wear under your gown? I am PRAYING that I will be able to wear my own undies and a loose fitting bra (just somethiing to keep the girls hidden)... I know it might sound a little weird but I get very nervous about my personal areas and prefer to keep that just between me and the husband. I know they're professionals but im not sure if anybody will really understand the fears I have and thats ok. Just curious what you guys experienced. My mom got the surgery done 4 or 5 yrs ago and cant remember if she was allowed to wear anything, but she does know she did NOT have a catheter put in. lol Anything would be greatly appreciated!!
