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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
