Clothes!
Posted , 16 users are following.
Morning guys!
I feel really low this morning, today I'm thinking I don't want me op, and thinking of ringing my hospital!
I'm worried now on what clothes to wear! I'm already stressing over money while I'm off!
What was all you lovely ladies wearing both in and out of hospital? The hospital where I supposed to be having it done want you out of night wear and in normal clothes! I'm thinking my jeans and leggings are going to be out of the question!
Thank you

The most practical advice I was given re clothes were wear jogging bottoms with elastic acted waist and slip on shoes.
just wear something loose and comfortable!
Good luck, you'll be fine

I'm 2 weeks post op. Best thing ever .
😊 I feel great and excited about the future with no pain.
I took leggings and jeans with me but wished I had taken some soft baggy like trousers with me . I lived in them since being out too . So much nicer on your wound. Comfort is the way forward.
I'm getting my staples out today , can't wait . Haha .
Take care

I understand completely about the worry of money, but if you don't have your operation you are definitely not going to be able to continue to work. The pain, lack of sleep etc will eventually mean you can't work even if you want to. Money should not stop you from doing something so important for your health.
I think this is anxiety about the operation to be honest, and it is a big operation so not surprising. I am the last person to tell you to relax, as I feel the same!!! BUT can we spend the rest of our lives like this?? No! At least when you come out of hospital your pain will be one of recovery and will end, and not the endless pain you are in now.....and at what point will we decide to go ahead, when we are bedridden with no life at all?? There is never a good time.
Perhaps some other patients on here can reassure you much better than I can, but if you read through my terrified thread there are many people who went back to work on week 3/4...Sorry you are so worried, I would be too, if it were me, but I am sure they will take such good care of you xxx

Dont ring that hospital !
I think we all go through thinking of really good reasons why we shouldnt have the op .......none of which really are as important as having a future without pain. At the moment everything seems to worry you and you get easily stressed. Try not to worry, I know you have been following thhe forum for a while so you will have read all those who have had the op, who were really anxious before hand and then said that it wasnt anyway as bad as they had imagined.
Just try to organise as much as you can before you go to hospital and then concentrate on getting better.
I usually wear jeans and leggings but bought some softer loose fitting trousers that were easier to get on and off after the op and comfy too as you usually get some swelling and also more comfortable against the wound area. some people prefer skirts but you may not be a skirt girl.
one thing i would say is i wish i had taken a couple of nighties in to hospital much easier to manage than pjs or the dreaded hospital gown!
You will be fine and you will soon be back home. Try not to worry about money. Once you are on the road to recovery you will be able to start to plan ahead without the worry of an operation to stress over!
What is the date of your op?
take care

Slip on shoes.
Admit to going commando for a couple if days! Though don't tell anyone...... Just made life easier when going to loo.
Wish you well, accept the 'don't care pills' at the hospital before the op if on offer and take whatever's going after....
