Getting sleeved on May 2nd, any thoughts on best kinds of women's pjs for hospital ?


After bringing a change of clothes and robe, I ended up in just a shirt and robe. I didn't want to wear pants or underwear that put pressure on my tummy. The robe was handy whenever I walked around the hospital I just slipped it on or whenever I got up. It was easy to use the restroom as well. I was in a lot of pain and had bad nausea so wearing no bottoms was easier to move.
Plus you will have a IV hooked to you so you won't really be as comfortable. It wasn't until the day I left the hospital when I changed right back into the clothes I came in with because they were the most comfy clothes.

just wear the hospital gown they give you. I brought pajamas to the hospital, but there was oozing and some bleeding from the laparoscopic sites.. Wasn't a major problem but why stain your nice PJs. Just bring a robe.

I brought pajama pants and a loose top...I got into those as soon as I was back in my room after the surgery. I always feel so much better out of that hospital gown and into my own things. Plus, I felt much better walking the halls in pants than a gown. Brought my own slippers, too :)

It was hard to wear anything other than underwear and the hospital gown with all the hoses and wires hooked up to me. I had brought a robe, sleep pants, t-shirts and slippers. All I was able to use was the slippers. I wasn't able to shower for two days while in the hospital. It really sucked.

I got a nice soft shirt and pj/sweat bottoms. Also some comfy nonslip slippers. Depending on what your doc does (for instance I wasn't cath'd and didn't have a halter monitor) you may or may not be able to change. For me-as soon as I was able to change-that alone made me feel better. The nurses even commented that my mood seemed better once I was in my own clothes even though I ended up staying an extra night. I didn't go crazy though...just a simple v-neck and loose pants. Didn't spend more than $20

I bought pjs and never even changed into them. I did wear them when I came home.

You won't need PJs. You'll get undressed and put on the gown, have surgery, stay over night and if all goes well you'll be released the very next day. :)

You may not want anything touching your stomach either!

I wore the hospital gown for the first 24 hours when I was hooked up to the IV, PCA pump and had a catheter. On the second day after they discontinued my IV pain meds, removed my IV and took the cath out I changed into my own jammies. I wore a night gown and had a pair of leggings for walking.

I took jammies, but ended up just wearing the gown. It was so much more convenient and more comfortable, in my opinion!

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
