So when you're in the hospital post op, do you have to wear the gowns, or can I wear pajama pants and a tank top?? I hate going without a bra too...anyone know??

Depending on where you're incisions are a bra can be uncomfortable. You'll have some bleeding from the incisions that will get on your clothes so you'll probably want to watch for that as well.

When I woke up I had a catheter for a while so anything like pants wouldn't have worked and by the time that came out I only had a few more hours so just stayed in the gowns they gave me. I wore one in the back then another in the front. You're pretty covered up in them if you use two.

You can wear whatever you want as long as the clothes don't interfere with the IVs or the incisions. I brought pajama pants with me but surprisingly I never put them on. The gowns were actually comfortable plus I was draining from 2 of my incisions so I didn't want to get that all over my pajamas. I did put underwear on the 2nd day when the catheter came out though. That made me feel 100 times better lol.

I am a bra person too have to wear it!!

Y'all sound like me!! I like my underwear on and my bra on too!! I just think it would be more comfortable walking around to be in "real" clothes!

I am thinking about one of those really soft 'genie' type bras. I can't imagine walking the halls with my huge boobs not in a bra. I guess no one really cares but I don't want anyone to gag! lol

Let them hang, baby!!! I had band placed 4 years ago and one of my incisions is close to my bra line.

Lol worm, but my surgeon is soooo cute! I need to be a LITTLE put together!!

My catheter was out like an hour after I was fully awake. Once I got to my room I put on my pjs bottoms and a sport tank that has a built in bra. I didn't have to worry about blood or drainage because I was glued shut but I definitely would not wear a bra with underwires cuz they will murder that top incision.

Good luck!
