      Jammies. Walmart or Marshalls always has cute ones this time of year. T shirt and pull on pants type. They are often as cute as any tracksuit, but not as heavy. Hoody for a jacket.

    I didn't have a drain. Just 5 medium sized bandaids. The incisions themselves were sealed with surgical glue. I had no problems. My surgery was in the summer, I was able to wear a loose sundress. I had no problems with my underwear.

    Ugggh lucky. My surgeon makes everyone have a drain for the first week post op . I was really hoping to wear no pants ... maybe cut a small hole on the side of the dress for the drain to fit ?‍♀️
