What to wear

I wanted to find out what most people wear after surgery?

I am sure comfortable clothing. What about underwire bras and undergarmets.

Help-surgery in just a couple days!

I was able to wear underwear okay. I'm not sure if I wore a bra home or not. I would suggest very lose fitting close. Try and stay away from anything with button or zipper. Spandex would be better or a lose fitting dress. The port site will be the sorest. Good luck.

o2bthin thank you for the info. I was told not to wear an underwire for a couple of days after the surgery. And since we still want to look cute after our proceedure I will definetly look for those sets at Walmart.

I flew home on the 3rd day, snd going braless was NOT an option!!! I wore an older one, that was not underwire, and had been washed to softness. I wore elastic waist pants, and a pull over tshirt type of top. I also made sure to wear slip on shoes, since you have to remove them in security at the airport, and bending to tie shoes might be painful.

The girls laid heavy on my incisions, so I kept them bandaged longer than recommended, but, they healed well.

Go for comfort.....don't waste your money on cute new jammies for the hospital---they will be too big in a matter of 2 weeks time!!!!!

That's what it's all about!!!! WooooHoooo!!!
