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!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
