Dressed To The 0's?

I think it should be asked if it hasn't already been.

What exactly is worn during the surgery? Please say a robe at least! O_o

I was just banded a week ago.

You get to wear a nifty (yes that's sarcasm lol) hospital gown. That's it.

After you're out of surgery and in your hospital room, you can of course put on a robe. In fact, I suggest bringing both a robe and slippers from home because they will want you up and walking the halls fairly soon.

I was banded this past Monday (Jan9th). I wore a velor jogging suit that zipped in the front and very loose in the waste. That is what my surgeon told me to wear. His main point is to wear something that zips and shoes that I can slip on. And nothing that is tight around your waist.

Hope this helps.

I was put in the biggest gown I had ever seen. It made me feel so little I almost doubted my needing the surgery! ;) When it was time to walk they put another around my back and I was set. Very comfy!

My surgery was done at an oupatient center, but I wore regular clothes in - they gave me a gown to put on when i got there, and I left in my own gown and robe for the car ride home. Oh so pretty!

I go in next Wednesday. I had not thought of this at all. I don't think I have anything that is suitable. I'll be overnighting in the hospital. I see my doctor on Monday so I'll ask then. Thanks for asking this question.
