I plan on wearing a lose fitting maxi dress. Not worried about going to it's afterwards that will matter!

I just did sweat pants, t-shirt and a light jacket so I could skip the bra on the way home.

Yeah, I wore sweats too!

I wore my biggest scrub set. But my advice, wear something comfortable and forego the bra. You wont feel like putting anything on afterwards. I guarantee you that.

Something lose and comfortable. Swelling is common so wear your grandma panties, a tank instead of bra even slippers opposed to shoes. I wore sweats (oversized) easy on and easy off appropriate for going in and out of the hospital with.

Amen to slip on shoes! I also had my sister bring m a sports bra the day I had surgery. I'm pretty large chested and one of my breasts was pressing on an incision. The nurse said so long as the bra band didn't press on the incision it was fine to wear and was a life saver. I've worn a sports bra or soft cup bra every day since surgery (I'm 10 days post op) - can do underwire yet.

I wore my husbands t- shirt which was really loose my biggest sweat pants and slip on shoes sports bra and comfy undies

I wore a sundress and flip flops...i had to keep on the bra to keep the girls supported if u no what i mean...it was easier to have them supported good luck

good question! i didn't even think about this but i'm so glad you asked! I guess after reading this-- flip flops and a maxi (i swear by these on a lazy day-- you can get away no bra even sans underwear, haha) or sweats! GOOD LUCK to all of us who are still awaiting surgery day

Thanks! It's Thursday at 9am!!!

Yay! Good luck!

They are lucky I wore PANTIES!! LoL! When youve come out of surgery, ask the nurse for the HOSPITAL PANTIES they are very comfortable (ask for a few, so you can take some home)

Haha. I went without in the hospital. There was one nurse who was very concerned and followed me around holding my Johnny closed when I walked. Having my sister have to basically put my underwear on me when I was discharged was an experience i could have lived without.

I think I wore sweats or shorts with a tshirt. Nothing special. Comfort is a must and I think they recommend a drawstring so you can keep your clothes loose.

Happy Surgery Eve! I wore sweat pants and a tshirt and flip flops for surgery, which didn't matter much because they change you into a hospital gown of course and those comfy socks lol. Mine was outpatient, so I had a maxi dress waiting for after, no bra (the girls aren't that big) and I stayed in loose dresses for several days after.
