I did the same thing! I wore a really loose sundress and flip flops to the hospital along with granny panties lol didnt want the nurse seeing me in anything else! Haha when u get there they will make u take everything off including undies, afterwards my mom helped me get dressed and the sun dress was perfect! I also lived in nightgowns and really big t shirts... I'm 2 weeks post of tomorrow and that's what I'm still wearing, I still don't like the feeling of anything right around my incisions... Yesterday I tried jeans and it hurt... My port incision is still bruised and VERY sore :( def invest in sum cheap nightgowns, I say cheap becuz before u know it they will be too big!

I never thought of that.... poor men have no choice. They'd look weird in a sundress. But naked in flip flops would be weird too.j/s

Glad you asked that, I did not even think of it. I have been too upset about the fact that you can't wear panties, to think of what I will wear home, lol.

This may sound like a silly question' date=' but what did you wear to your surgery? I promise I'm not being fashion conscious. Lol! The hospital says "something comfortable, easy on easy off". I was thinking sweat pants and tshirt, but will it be too painful to bend over to pull up the sweatpants? Maybe a light dress? Any suggestions?[/quote']

Yoga pants and a loose fitting shirt. They will help you get dressed. Don't forget the pillow for the ride home to hold between your tummy and the seat belt.

That is not a silly question and I'm sure no one is laughing.

Please feel free to ask any question that is lapband related.

I wore elastic banded pants home and eventhough they were lose it did put pressure on my incision, so if you have a loose dress you'd be better off and make sure you have slip on shoes like mules, slide sandals or a pair of slip on shoes.

You're going to do great!

Well, the sundress and sandals were the perfect choice. I'm all done and resting comfortably at home. Thanks for all of the advice everyone!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
