Random question

I am having my surgery on the 22nd at a surgery center, can anyone give me any ideas on what to wear for surgery? I'm a little nervous but ready to roll!

I was told anything lose and comfortable. Anything that would pressure on your tummy, like zip up pants or jeans, is not a good idea. Maybe a comfortable summer dress or pants outfit with elastic at the waist. Since you will be potentially in public, I would wear something that would be appropriate for public wear just in case you have to stop by the pharmacy or grocery store.

I did gym clothes, elastic shorts and big t-shirt

I wore a baggy sweatsuit that wouldn't rub against my incisions.

I also wore slip-on shoes, a.k.a. flip-flops, to avoid needing to bend over when taking them on and off. Your abdomen will be sore, so you should wear stuff that prevents bending over to put them on.
