Hospital Gowns
Yup they have large gowns and wearing two is a common thing. You do bleed a bit as the incisions heal so you may want to leave your own stuff home. Up to you really. Better to be comfortable. You're also going to have an IV and they will want to stick you with needles and junk too.
Long you live and high you fly
And smiles you'll give and tears you'll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be.

I wore slipper, a tank top (with a built in bra) and my undies. I was out hoofing around within hours of surgery. I did have some blood from the incisions, but that has washed out, and I wear the tank top to bed. And I was very warm in the hospital. I froze at home, but my thyroid was off, and my thyroid medication has been adjusted.
