This Is An Odd Question...



Recommended Posts

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 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

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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
