lol well I am trying to pack and wondering just what all to take for after surgery... any thoughts on what works best? I am thinking something lose of course but if anyone can give me hints that would be great... Surgery is wednesday and I don't have to fly back till saturday so not sure if lose pants would work or ????? :help:

I bought a pair of cotton capris - about a size bigger and drawstring to wear afterwards. You don't want anything tight on your abdomen at all.

Hi Leslie Lee,

I am 5 days post op now and although I'm feeling great I find it more comfortable in sweats still. Good luck Wednesday, you'll do great.

Yep, sweats worked best for me plus two button front tops. If you don't have sweats then take a pair of elastic waist band pants. If you're like me you might be tempted to over pack. Whenever I go on a trip I always pack way to many clothes. But trsut me, this trip is different. You really don't need more... less is better. For the most part you're resting or going for the odd walk... that's it.

Have a great trip! I'm so excited for you!!

All the best LeslieLee - I'll be joining you on the banded side of the world on June 01/07.

All I brought was some comfy pajamas, and as my 'leaving the clinic' outfit, some huge sweatpants, tank top, and a zip up hoody. You'll be fine!

I'm planning on wearing a loose-fitting dress. I think that would be OK.

I took drawstring waist cotton capri sets. It would pay to take some flipflops as well. I was really glad I took my slip on Ked tenny shoes. The bending to put on and tie sneakers would have been tough. Good Luck!

I wore jeans home, so I'd say sweat pants or loose pants will be absolutely fine.

Sweats, Ts and loose fitting pants. Don't forget, you can't lift more than 10 lbs so your suitcase should be small. You need one change of clothes at most. But supply your hotel room with bottled water as the hotels charge an arm and a leg. You will be groggy and sleep a lot, but when you are up every hour to walk and cough, you will need fluid. Doddie

I personally lived in a satin night gown for the first 5 days after surgery... and if i had to actually get dressed i was in loose jogging pants and a t shirt...
