Thursday I'm scheduled for an extended TT.  The doctor said to wear something that zipped up or buttoned up front.  What did you wear after surgery.  I see a lot of people wore men's pjs, any other suggestions for laying around in?  Do you wear panties home from the hospital?

I bought some large sweat pants and a large 'work shirt' ..denim thing from Goodwill

i wor that with socks and sandals to the hospital.

i don't think that I had panties on going home ... I was pretty wrapped up in bandages and I think I just slipped the sweats on, buttoned up the shirt and got to the car.

 

At home, I lived in sweats and comfy shirts for the first week ... Then , more fitted clothes, but I did not get back into my pre surgery pants for a few weeks.

 

I work from home, so that worked for me without having to buy extra clothes.

good luck on Thursday.  It is a major surgery, you should be prepared for that, but the results are SO worth it!!!

Large sweat pants and zip up hoodie. At home, I'd wander around in just the compression garment and pj tops, but I was in bed a lot!

I did not wear panties home, just the zip up compression garment and a pair of sweats...and a hoodie.  Haven't been in panties at all yet since surgery on 2/26...really just rolling with that one, still have a drain in so not in a big rush to get back into them

I wore big loose panties and button up housecoats.  I would slip the drains between the buttons and into the pockets of coat.  I also had loose tie waisted jogging pants that I wore out in the public with loose T-Shirts or shirts.  On the way home from hospital, I just wore my buttoned housecoat and house shoes.  That was all folks!
