What to wear

Thread Starter  

Hello All-
I am four days before surgery and nervous. Nervous about changing my life and nervous about not having everything ready. So, to clear at least one things off my list - what did everyone wear during recovery week. My mom insists that I will want nightgowns, but I hate those- what did you wear? What is uncomfortable or hard to get into or out of?

Thank you!!

My surgery was in December so I wore sweat pants and flanel pajama pants. I could wear my jeans withing a week of surgery!! Good luck!

I wore very loose sweat pants and t shirts. You really want anything that is very loose around your stomach because it is sore.
I'm so happy for you - getting the LAP-BAND^® was the best thing I ever did.

yep, loose t-shirts and loose pj pants or sweats were most comfortable for me. I don't think any of my incisions hit right at the waist of my pants.

wear whatever you want, this is hardly major incisions we're talking about here, nothing too tight is about your only limit.

I wore long mumu type sun dresses, really comfy and nothing to hit your surgery area.

I wore big, comfy, baggy sweatpants and t-shirts. I also wore a sports bra, because many people here recommended that to me before I had my surgery and I was so glad that they did. There was no way I would have been able to wear an underwire with my port incisions.

My co-worker recommended a bra (not underwire) that clasps in front...not a lot of support but good for recovery. I already have one b/c I have to have a holter monitor test every 6 months. I got mine at a Cathrine's but JC Penney has them too.
