I was wondering what people would recommend for clothes in hospital and during recovery? I know loose clothes. But how loose? All my short or pants waistbands go to my belly button or are tight against my stomach. Would dresses be ok?

Most YouTube videos I've seen of "what's in my hospital bag" have bath or house robes or strapless flowy dresses.

Anything that won't touch or irritate the surgical sites.

I wore very loose sweat pants and wore them a little lower. A lot there were just wearing the hospital gowns or night gowns with robes.

I wore loose sweatpants and a cami as soon as they said it was fine to do so. I just didn't let the sweatpants touch my stomach despite it being loose.

I wore loose yoga pants or pj pants that went to my belly button. My incisions were all above my belly button pretty much. I had one kind of close to my waistband and on days it was bothering me I just pushed my waistband down below my lower belly. If you're going to do that I highly recommend longer shirts Loose dresses would be totally fine also though. I also bought several really stretchy wireless bras (the kind that just pull over your head) and those were much needed. I don't feel comfortable going with no support at all and those were good because I had one incision right at my bra line that got really irritated if I tried to wear anything with wire...
