Undies question....

Ladies,

What kind of undies do you bring to surgery with you?

Do you wear them during the surgery itself?

I don't know how I feel being so exposed if not....lol

What about socks?

Thanks so much!!

The hospital had me change into a gown without undies. (I had the joy of learning they still want you commando if you're on your cycle.). It was an outpatient procedure so I was allowed to put them on right before I left.

I will say the Fruit of the Loom Flexible Fit undies are amazing! They were perfect for right after surgery (soft, breathe, and fit really nicely) and have been great while I'm losing weight. I've lost 54 lbs and haven't had to replace these panties yet.

Avoid the other Fruit of Loom ones, Soft something unless your waist is MUCH smaller than your hips. The waistband is a lot smaller with very little give.

Oh, and hospital provided me with those thick socks with grippy stuff on the bottom.

Want a small giggle? As you may have surmissed, my bypass recovery developed a big fat glitch. Got a pair of big sized yellow Trippy socks, well I meant Grippee, maybe a Freudian slip? That was September 5th, another pair October 12 for endoscopy #1.another pair October 26 for #2 and another to come on November 9th. They better get me repaired before I deplete Ohio State University Hospital of all their size XXL socks. If they get tired of bringing me in every 2 weeks, think how I feel!????
