Hey Everyone,

So maybe I am a vain germaphobe or maybe I have just been embarrassed too many times by having my goodies hanging out of small hospital gowns but I have been thinking about bringing my own hospital gown. There are a couple of websites I have found that offer plus sized gowns (most of these are for labor and delivery). BYOG and Dearjohnnies both offer stylish gowns that no one has worn before and look freaking adorable! I know they won't let me wear one in surgery but I will be recovering in ICU (clinic policy) and I just can't imagine wearing a regular old gown.

Is anyone considering doing the same thing? Has anyone done this?

:001_tongue:

With Dr. Rod there was no worries on gown sizes. I think since we were all getting wls it would be silky of them to not have large gowns on hand. And after surgery I honestly didn't care what I looked like. That was the last thing on my mind lol.. I just made myself take my walks so I could go back to sleep. The only reason I even put shorts on was so could look at my stomach easier. If you buy a gown it will be a waste of money. I'm one month post op and I'm already down 27lbs. I brought a robe with me and never even used it. If you are going to take anything with you make it gas-x strips and a heating pad.

Those are so pricey. I would think you could buy a cotton nightgown and have a tailor cut open the back and sew in ties for a lot less.

Are you crafty at all? I can't imagine they'd be difficult to make-- just some fabric, snaps at the shoulders, ties at the back? the above idea is a good one too.

If you wanna get fancy I'd check out Etsy-- they have SUCH a cute selection. I totally love =tags&%3Bincludes[1]=title"]this one, can't bring myself to spend the money on it though.
