So random question, but do you wear anything under the hospital gown? I mean for the few days your are in the hospital. I'm asking because I'm diabetic and wear an insulin pump and need something with pockets to put it on/in so was thinking of taking shorts to wear underneath the gown? I don't know...any suggestions? When I had my gallbladder taken out years ago, I wasn't on the pump so it wasn't an issue. And I can't remember wearing anything underneath.

Help?

I have surgery tomorrow and am trying to pack :/

Thanks!

I went commando. They had me change into the gown right after arriving and I was in surgery within hours. After surgery I was in the same gown for about 24 hours and was released. I went in on a Saturday morning and was released Sunday afternoon.

wow, you were released that fast?! amazing!

yeah, I reckon the same will happen to me....same day surgery :/ (going to Mexico)

None of the group of about 12 had anything under the hospital gowns. We were told to strip down to nothing. There was one lady who was a fashionista and wore her leopard robe with her fuzzy pink slippers. All the rest of us were just hospital gowned. Some wore slippers, some the non-skid socks they put on you ... as for me, my Birkenstocks suited me just fine!

I had on a gown and hospital undies ( cycle) i also had a hospital robe to walk in which had pockets

Nothing. Total commando for the 28 hours of hospital stay.

Then came home and still have not worn a bra.

Want to stick to dresses though as much as possible so I don't have to buy too much right away

Thanks everyone!

blues - you will be on insulin pump after your surgery?

Maybe take a robe with pockets with you.

Hi travelmego,

Yeah, there were a lot of problems getting my blood sugars under control for 4 days, but I'm back on my pump and doing good!

Turns out I didn't wear anything underneath the gown and glad i didn't lol too many bathroom trips!
