They drape cloth over everything they are not working on.  You will be wearing a hospital gown.

You will be wheeled into the OR wearing a hospital gown. Once in there, they will sedate you, you will have any  "in the way" hair(s) removed, then they will  drape you  with surgical drapes, leaving just your abdomen exposed.  I would not worry too much... OR staff have  "seen it all" and are for the most part very respectful at  maintaining dignity (as much as possible)!!! Plus you are  there for bariatric surgery and not a modeling shoot. Do not worry too much. It is all pretty technical...like a car in a repair shop!!

Hey, they're going to be looking at your insides. That's creepier to me than looking at anything on the outside.

you will be covered during surgery but forget motisty they will have to install a catheria   during surgery and probably keep it in the first day , the doctors and nurses have seen it all before and probably heavier people than you

Though not necessarily, re: catheter.

My surgeon and hospital do not use catheters for WLS patients. I didn't have one in at all and was getting up to go to the bathroom when I needed, with the help of a nurse. So you may not even have to have one! I have heard it's becoming less and less common. One less thing to worry about!

My surgeon actually strapped my arms, legs, and head to the table and then lifted the table up so that I was almost in a standing position. I seriously doubt anything was covered. But they have seen it all!!!
