What To Wear For Trip Home?



Recommended Posts

I am getting sleeved on May 10th in MX & wondering what I should take to wear on the way home?

I was thinking originally a very loose pair of sweatpants. But thinking now as it is MX I will be baking hot??!

Can I wear capri jeans or will that be too rough on my incisions? They are the only capris I have.

Oh & don't own a sundress & hate the way I look in a dress right now so not really wanting to get one!

So ideas please!

You should be fine i would take a sweater or jacket. I also found the airplane to be a little chilly and i wore pants but maybe i was by a vent.

I wore yoga pants, a tank top, and a North Face jacket home. I was cold most of my trip as I live in AZ.

I had no problem wear a regular pair of dockers home on the plane. The incisions are higher , one of mine was right on my bra line! Just go for comfort!

I think yoga pants is a good idea. You won't want the band of regular pants pressing into your stomach while sitting. Loose is better.

Yeah, it was cold when I went too.. in the 50s. I wore a stretchy top peasant skirt, tank and hoodie and was very comfortable and still felt presentable. I can't wear sweats out of the house. My mother beat into me that it was bad! LOL It was my concession to fashion and it worked well for me. It was freezing the whole way home too. I also was not outside really ever the whole time. I went from airport to van to hospital to van to airport.

Thank you everyone for the input, really appreciate it!

I am also trying to just bring a carry on, to make it easier on me not having to haul a suitcase around. So will probably try to find a pair of yoga pants from Walmart, take my sweat pants (they are just sooooo comfy) & a couple of t-shirts. Maybe a jacket to wear on the way too, in case it is cooler.

Thank you all!

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

      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! 😞
