My friend bought me a new pajama set.  Carolina Blue with stars and moons all over it...it swallows me now but I hang on to it.  It was nice to have to wear home because then all I had to do when I came in the door was lay down. (I even wore slippers) would have worn flip flops but it was December :)


I am a work in progress...perhaps never completed or perfected; but forever working to change for the better...

Same as the rest of the ladies - sweats, slip on sneaks, zip jacket and my Pillow Pet to hold against my tummy on the way home. 

Just remember it should be comfortable and non-restricting around your tummy.  My tummy swelled once I got home, and my Mom had to run and buy 4X sweatpants for me (I wore a 3X at the time of surgery), so I could go outside to walk, LOL.  I was stuck in my nightgowns for 2 days!  LOL  The swelling went down after a week, though.

Good Luck with your surgery!

HI, I had surgery March 9th and I wore a sweatsuit in with slip on shoes.  Less is more when leaving the hospital.  You can wear the bra in but you can't try to get it on to leave.  Please don't go out and buy new PJ's or anything because it will be a waste of money.  All of my presurgery PJ's are too big which feels great-you don't want anything touching your stomach and it reminds you why you did this.  Good luck and congrats.

I dressed the same as the other ladies.  Sweats, slip on clogs and no bra.  Found it easier to get dressed after surgery.

Good Luck on your surgery!

Thank you all so much for the great ideas! I had not thought about taking a pillow, I may take two or three since we have almost a two hour drive!  It is wonderful having your support and advice.
Thanks again!!!

Cotton capris that tied in the front, zip up hoodie and flip flops. I did wear a bra as well but I had no discomfort from it.
