Clothing right after surgery.

What should I wear after surgery. I do not own anything that is comfortable that I would wear in public. What should I buy for walking down the halls and after surgery that will be comfortable on my tummy?

Thin type yoga pants the lighter the material the less of a head ache on your incisions

Or a long fluffy robe to put over your hospital gown :)

I wore yoga pants and maternity jeans (I just had a baby).

Robe ,and loose summer dresses from Walmart , inexpensive u can donate once they don't fit anymore !

Yoga pants and I bought undies that were a size too big because of swelling and such. I could not wear a robe in the hospital due to the IV so I used 2 hospital gowns but they did unhook the IV for a little while and let me put a sports bra on.

The last thing you want to do is spend money on something you will wear just a couple times because it will be TOO BIG! Some people just wear a hospital gown, and another one reversed, so they don't bring in anything. And that is fine. If you want something else, opt for some comfy pajama pants or light sweatpants. You will need the hospital gown on top because you will have an IV. Get some slippers with some grip on the bottom. You will need to walk as much as possible and you don't want to slip. Hospitals offer slipper-socks, but they are one-size-fits-all and not very comfortable.

I wore sweatpants or sleepy pants with a big tee shirt.

I got a big zip up type robe, & I wore it home

I wore a big robe in the hospital and just put one arm in it due to the iv. Home i wore a maxi dress from old navy.

I wore (and am still wearing while recovering) yoga capris and ribbed tanks from old navy. I just bought three more today, so cumfy!
