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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
