This might be an odd question. It’s about appropriate post surgery clothing. Looks like my surgery is happening in a couple of weeks and so thinking about options now.
i pretty much live in loose joggers and pyjamas. Now I am aware that during my laparoscopic exploratory surgery that my belly button was involved and that for the full hysterectomy being done with a robot likely will also involve the same area.
Sometimes the area does feel a bit tender if my waistband catches it. So thinking that it might be best to have some loose clothing at home that doesn’t touch my waist belly button area the way joggers do though concerned about my legs feeling cold. Wearing tights rather defeats the nothing on waist. I have loose summer dresses and a few nightdresses but I feel like I need more coverage and warmth in this weather.
oh I do have an Oodie though it’s rather bulky
