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.

      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! 😞
