on the table we only wear hospital gown and underwear? thinking a g-string might be not best for the occasion ;-p

If you've given birth in a hospital setting -- and I know not everyone here has -- I imagine the experience of nakedness in front of strangers will be similar.....when you're thinking about it weeks ahead of time being half naked in front of others sounds awful and embarrassing, but when you're in the thick of the action, you really could not care less.

I didn't even know about the cath. I'm the kind of girl who gets embarrassed easily (ego I guess) had a pre-op gastroscopy last week and was so embarrased with the way I burped so long and loud when the doctor pulled the camera out

Haha I was actually wondering about this too. I think I'm gonna try and sneak on some undies and see what they say. I might be unconscious so they might even take them from me? Who knows!

I'm fairly certain lying to your doctor who will surely figure out that you're....LYING...isn't a good idea.

To the OP.

I am fairly certain your bariatric surgeon has seen more than his/her share of nekkid fatties before.

You definitely (HOPEFULLY!?!?!?!) won't be his/her first.

Unless your bits are particularly impressive, no one will remember them at all.

I went into the OR wearing only a paper gown. When I woke up I was wearing a cloth gown. Hmm...how did that happen?

Oh my. Good question. I hadnt thought of this. GREATTTTTTT. lol

After my foot surgery, my biggest goal was finally being able to get my foot wet and scrub that nasty orange stain off of my foot. Nasty crap...

When you wake up & see weird orange stuff on your skin, don't worry, it's not blood but the betadine. Hope you find this info helpful.

I went into the ER wearing a cloth gown and the mesh undies that the hospital gave me along with a pad (I am a heavy bleeder). I'm not sure if they only gave them to me because I was on my period or if they give them to everyone but I woke up wearing the same cloth gown and the same (annoyingly small) mesh undies.

yeah no undies.....in fact I woke up catheterized....it wasn't removed until the next morning.

Did it hurt when it was removed?

I am a very covered type girl. Never shorts, long sleeves. 12hrs after I got to the hospital I didnt care if my butt was flashing every horrified onlooker. I hurt, felt dirty from oozing out of my big incision leeking on my hospital robe, being poked, examined, couldnt sit for long and on and on. You wanna see my vajayjay? Hanging boobs? Have at it.
