What Did You Wear To And From The Hospital?

What clothing did you wear to and from your surgery? Same outfit? Something loose? I'm trying to decide on a dress or shorts or sweats? Am I going to want anything touching my stomach? Do I want something I can wear without undies when I'm discharged?

Upon advice of others here at the site, I wore loose sweatpants, with a black tank top and larger black top over that. I wore slip on shoes (you will not want to bend down after surgery). When I arrived at the hospital, I had a bra on, but I don't recommend a bra post op- too restrictive and it would have touched 3 incisions in my case. That's why I wore the tank top underneath, to hold the "girls" a little. I had undies as well, and when I left I tucked them kind of under my tummy so they wouldn't touch my incision near my belly button that was very angry post op.

Good luck!

i wore sweats, undies, slip on shoes and no bra. best of luck to you!

Yoga pants, the ones you can roll down. A big shirt with a tank top under it (the tank didn't move much so it didn't make my incisions hurt) and a jacket. I am cold all the time now.

I wore loose fitting clothes, sweat pants and t-shirt. The morning after surgery after the catheter was removed I changed out of the hospital gown and wore my clothes the rest of the time. I packed cotton underwear, cotton sports bra, more sweat pants/capris and light tees. It wasn't bad having a light t-shirt on my stomach, but I wore the binder most of the time the first few days anyway.

Yoga pants, t shirt, bra, Ugg slippers. The abdominal binder covered the incisions so there was no problem with the bra interfering. I just basically had the same outfit with a pair of underwear to change into. The rest of the time in the hospital I was in one or two hospital gowns (depending on whether I was doing laps in the hall or not.)

My surgeon didn't use a catheter or binder. Crazy!

It was a black tie affair...

nah... something loose... that you can also wear home. I skipped the bra too.

I wore this. Didn't require me to bend to put it on and was loose over the abdominal area.

Yoga pants, flip flops (might be a bit too chilly for those now, plus if your not good on your feet, I'd suggest some type of slippers or slip on shoes) and a t-shirt.

I wore scrub bottoms and big tshirt. Wore my bra with no problem and slip on shoes. I'm 2 wks out today and can just now bend good enough to tie shoes!

What I wore and what I wished I had worn were 2 different things. I wore jeans tot eh hospital and home. I was 3 hrs away so I couldnt send hubby home for a change of clothes. I totally didn't even think of comfort. Luckily the jeans were a bit losse so I was ok

I recommend sweats and a t tho...Good luck

Jogging suit & tank. I wore crocs so I could slip me feet in as needed without bending. I wore the samething out that I wore in. I was there for 30 hours, so overnight.

Yoga pants and an oversized tshirt and a seeater. I did wear underclothes and had no problem with wearing clean things home. I was in gowns most of my stay and I just slipped into my house shoes to wear home because I wasn't driving. The second day wasn't bad. 3-5 were my worst days.
