What to wear to the hosptial?

Hello, My name is Brooke, and I'm new to this site!

I'm going in on Wednesday for my sleeve, and I'm curious what the best thing to wear going to the hosptial is?

I know my doctor said loose and comfortable clothes, any suggestions?

Thanks!

I wore loose fitting yoga pants and a t-shirt. No need to pack additional clothes just wear the same ones back home. I wore the gown while I was in the hospital as there are soooo many things attached to you when you wake up...it just made more sense to wear the gown that was designed to hold the heart monitor. Just be sure you pay attention to the backside of the gown when u start walking the hallways. ;)

I wore a gown, robe and slippers home. I didn't want anything around my stomach, even stretchy pants or underwear.

Agree with the chapstick. I also brought a small tube of lotion, my phone and my phone charger.

I wore a sundress to and from the hospital. Definitely didn't want to be putting pants on after surgery, but everyone is different.
