What To Wear

Hi Guys, my surgery is scheduled for the 27th. It will be outpatient and we have a 2 hour drive home. What should I wear home? Should I borrow my sister in laws Moo Moo? ;)

A moo-moo or roomy house dress would actually be really comfy. If you wear pants, I'd suggest roomy ones with elastic waist bands, like sweat pants. I definitely wouldn't wear jeans or anything remotely tight around your tummy.

I wore a lose fitting dress home myself. My ride home was over an hour. So I wanted to be comfortable.

I wore a pajama set and slippers. It was nice and loose and it worked out well for my drive home which was about an hour and a half.

whats amoomoo i wore sweats and a thsirt no bra cuz ull hurt with onelol

sweatpants a camisole from LB (ditched the bra to due to staples) sweatshirt over camisole.

Slip on shoes

But my Or date was in Dec and it was cold out I still got the sweatshirt i wore home it is way to big now(it looks like a tent)

Comfort is the most important thing Driving home can be wierd but thankfuly you will have help to get you home and safely in a comfortable spot to recover. Good luck on your impending surgery

Yup I wore sweats and a big t-shirt because I didn't want a bra on!!

I wore a sweat shirt and sweat pants I had one and half hour drive and I took pain meds as I got in the car and slept for the 11/2 hour drive Then slept when I got home and lived in jammmies for the next 4 days. I stayed one night in the hospital and thought I would die nurse didn't bring pain meds and then knocked me out. The next day we stayed in a motel because we needed to b e near the Dr . and then came home . I slept most of the time . I knock out after pain meds, my husband likes it that way no whining.

Keep it loose and comfortable. No pressure on your incisions or your abdomen.

I suggest a small pillow to wedge between you and the seatbelt. Good luck! You'll do great!

Thank you, Thank you! The only time I've been in the hospital was to have my tonsils out (when I was 21!) and to give birth 4 times. So this will be my first real cut open experience. I ESP love the pillow between the seat belt idea! THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!
