I know that it sounds silly, but I was wondering whether it's comfortable to wear clothes with waistbands after lung surgery.

I may need a quick trip to the shops if not!

There are no silly questions. I took pyjamas to Guy's for my little stay with them. I went out and bought six new pairs for the occasion, and glad I did because I was in for 9 days! It feels so nice to have a wash and put on clean jammies every day.... Best wishes for your surgery, they will really look after you!

Thank you PamelaAnne.

I'll definitely need more PJs then!

They usually give you a gown to wear in the hospital

Don't forget your slippers and they don't like slip-ons or flip flops, too risky

I found my dressing gown very helpful. I had my P J's with me but used the hospital open back one, let them change it
