I’m having a double mastectomy in 2 weeks I live 4 hrs from the hospital so was wondering what other Ladies did as far as day wear. Did you just stay in pyjamas or get dressed each day. I will be ther...

Hi @Cutter
I had two separate surgeries - first was single mastectomy then second was prophylactic mastectomy of the non cancer breast and double DIEP flap reconstruction.
The first time I took pyjamas to hospital ( loose fitting pants and button up the front tops ) plus an outfit to return home in ( loose fitting pants and button up the front shirt ).
Second time I just wore the hospital gown in hospital and saved the pyjamas until I got home.
I think my hubby was getting a bit worried about how much I wore the pyjamas when I got home 😊
I recall answering the door to a courier and it was afternoon and I said “ I’m just home from having major surgery in hospital “ when it was a week later !
My point being , it’s a big surgery and if you feel like spending the day in your pjs during that initial recovery period , so what?
You do need to take it slowly and be kind yo yourself.
Take care🌺
