What to wear home from surgery?



Recommended Posts

Any suggestions? I do not have any button up shirts and I am not going to want to wear a hoodie bc it has been 90 degrees here this week!!!

Is it too hard to put on a tshirt?

I picked up a cheap cotton sundress. I wore it home and practically lived in it for two weeks. :-)

T-shirt and yoga pants, what I wore to the hospital, also wore home. I had no problem putting the shirt on. If you wear a bra make sure it's soft and a bit loose.

I wore a peasant blouse and shorts in and that's what I wore out. I could not stand the thought of a bra out so I went commando. Not good for a 40 DD. Lol.

On that note my husband wants a refund for the surgery. This morning I made him take me up to target for a cheap cotton bra. Just something without wires and really soft. Since surgery I can't stand the underwires on my bra. I ended up getting a 38 D instead of ny normal 40 DD. looks like my girls are going to go first. I had a breast reduction when I was 22 and was a 32 full C. Id love to get BA k to that size instead of these huge boobahs!!!

Wear something comfortable to the hospital that you can wear home again on the day you leave. I wore elastic waist pants and a loose fitting top. I was fine putting them on after surgery, but like the others said above I didn't even attempt the bra (I had an incision close to where the bra would have been).

I didn't wear a bra when I had my band an my saggy boob rubbed the upper incision the whole way home, was irritating as heck so this time (I feel like a surgery pro) I brought a soft one that just sorta holds em up a bit, worked well.

If you go in the Maternity section, most stores have the most comfortable T-shirts and pants (with strechy waist). The less the effort the better pain wise.

Oh yeah ... I highly recommend comfy flip-flops.

I wore home a loose tank top and stretchy pajama pants. No problem. Actually wore my house shoes since they rolled me out in wheelchair and I was going straight home.

I bought a cheap front hook bra from Walmart. Was comfortable to sleep in as well when I was there.

Every time Dr. B gets me (this was my third surgery be him :/) he uses 1 tiny incision way up high on the left, I believe its where the camera goes....it's always the smallest yet most annoying of my incisions.....but yes, the boob rubbing it was MISERABLE...but luckily I earned that lesson after the first surgery!

I've never had ta ta's lol. My bra doesn't rub the top incision but it probably would if I was bigger than a b cup.

      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
