Embarrassing Question - Managing Enuresis in the Hospital?

So yeah, I have an ongoing issue with nocturnal enuresis (peeing in the bed). It started several years ago and the specialists rules out all the usual cause suspects pretty quick. It doesn't happen every night but often enough that I use incontinence products as a standard rule. Changing sheets every day becomes more of a drag than changing a disposable brief.
So obviously this is an embarrassing problem and a bit of a taboo in our culture. My wife thinks I should just ignore it and let it happen if it happens. I.e. Not tell the hospital staff or anything and just deal with the eventuality (and wet pjs) if it happens. I feel like I should put it in my medical history and let them know -- and just bring my supplies along to the hospital.
My case manager says to bring all my normal sleeping clothes to the hospital and that I'll be in normal lounge wear and pjs pretty soon after surgery. I don't want to make a big deal of this - or a spectacle. But I also want to be courteous and reasonable.
In your experience. What was it like in the hospital after surgery? What do you suppose I should do here? What seems reasonable?
Thanks
