Wear to and from the hospital?



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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

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.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
