do you wear anything on the surgery table



Recommended Posts

Funny how guys don't really care. I am in the approval process and never thought about this at all. Assuming the anesthesia will take care of any modesty issues...

They have to put in a "foley" (urine cath) so forget your modesty. My wife is a OR nurse and she has seen more "twats and *****" than a porn star.

Seen my fair share also. Just another part of the body to us OR nurses!

Usually a paper gown that they'll remove after they knock you out.

What's funny about this topic was I never really thought much of being naked on the table. I knoe they out a paper gown on me prior to surgery. When I woke up in recovery I had on a typical hospital gown. Never to get much of it right away. Then one day it hit me that I woke up in something different than I went to "sleep" in.

I wore something VERY comfortable and loose so I could wear it home. I also brought lots of clean underwear for when I could take showers. Once you get there you put on a gown and maybe some non skid socks.

In the Or. Your gown is lifted way up to your neck and your arms are strapped down. The Dr and nurses see everything.. ;)

Arms strapped down???? Ill prolly have a panic attack do they really do that??

I had to remove piercings and still haven't put them back in one year on!

On the table I know I was naked, I went in in a hospital gown thing and woke up with a different one on. But I was under a GA so what do I care? LOL.

Oh I did have to wear those sexy stockings that work to improve circulation and then over them non slip socks as they had a requirement that I walk into theatre and hop up on the table myself. And why not? It is not like I was sick!

As for the strapping down, if they do it it is when you are out. You won't even know so don't worry about it :-)

In my PreOp class today they told the girls not to have nail polish because it can mess with the pulse ox.

      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.
