BandDiva Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 Just wondering if everyone wears a gown, or if big pj pants are OK. Obviously, big and comfy! I really have never owned a gown (I get tangled up in em lol) BUT....I will go buy one today if this is the best thing. Just concerned about what to put on right after surgery to go for my walks in. Thanks!
julieburns Posted September 28, 2008 Report Posted September 28, 2008 Comfy pj's are just fine. The largest incision is about 2 inches under your left breast. The others are scattered about the upper abdomen also. Nothing is at the waistline. Keep in mind you may have bloating though so the pj bottoms need to be loose elastic or better yet drawstring type to adjust as needed for bloating. Same thing goes for any pants/sweats you may bring.
Iluvmyboyz Posted September 29, 2008 Report Posted September 29, 2008 No gowns for me. I just wore cut off sweats and a t-shirt. I was so comfy and was very happy not showing anyone my butt. LOL I wouldn't buy anything new because soon nothing will fit you and what a waste!!! I also wore capris and stuff like that. I didn't want to wear anything that hurt my stomach area or was tight fitting. Just loose clothing. I can't wait for your surgery. It is great you are asking questions so that you are so prepared. GOOD LUCK!!!! Natalie

Natalie Thanks Natalie! > Everyone is so helpful! I am most grateful! I am down 10 lbs. Just 4 to go. I think I will be fine. I have lots of PJ's (drawstring jockey cotton pants & tees) so I am good to go! I have everything packed and I am leaving in the morning. D~

Elastic waist pants. Never felt pain outside. Good luck. How exciting. Ellen
FRANCIE Posted September 29, 2008 Report Posted September 29, 2008 Don't forget the sports bra! This was a lifesaver for me! Good Luck and keep us posted on your progress!
mona-camille Posted September 29, 2008 Report Posted September 29, 2008 Do you mean immediately after you wake up before you go back to the hotel? I just wore the hospital gown they gave me and then my sleeveless bathrobe over it to cover my a$$. Didn't think anyone neded to see that while I was taking my walks around the halls.
BandDiva Posted September 29, 2008 Author Report Posted September 29, 2008 Thanks so much everyone! I am on the road!!! I will be there soon. I will be in town very early. I plan to do a lot of walking and continue my pre-op diet before surgery. I am not going into Mexico to eat the Yummy Mexican food. HAHA Staying in San Diego with family, however my birthday is 10/5, so I do want to find a nice place to have some grilled fish and veggies on this night. I will keep you posted. Thank you all! I appreciate your kindness and well wishes. Lots of hugs! Dana~
Dapzilla Posted September 29, 2008 Report Posted September 29, 2008 Don't forget the sports bra! This was a lifesaver for me! OK, I hate to sound like a dumdum, but why the sports bra? Or is this only if you are very well endowed? I'm scheduled for my surgery date (in PA) on the 20th, and want to be prepared. I wouldn't have thought about the bra...but I'm sure there is a good reason behind it.

Sometimes one of the incisions are very close to the breast and sports bras are more comfortable. That is just what I have read. I'm not getting banded until Nov. 20th.
OICU812 Posted September 29, 2008 Report Posted September 29, 2008 The only thing that really goes well with that paper thong is a nice set of paper pajamas. I made my own out of the USA Today from the hotel.

One small incision sits close or is directly under the band that goes around you in between your girls. It can get irritated even from the sports bra.
