Dressing gown!

[Cuppacocoa]

Ok so it's a bit of a boring question but do I need a dressing gown when I go into hospital? Don't have one and don't really want to be spending any money buying marquee size clothing when hopefully I'll be down to a mere tent size soon...

Why don't you get a nice big cuddly guys one and give it to your OH when you are too little for it?

Hiya,

I took one and didnt even get chance to wear it at all. I suppose it depends how long they're thinking of keeping you in for.

I didn't take one and wouldn't have needed it. My room was boiling for a start but I took a hoody and a cardi with me just in case.

I don't think it's something to spend a lot of money on but if you find a nice one that's a bargain (teen is right - primark do have some nice ones atm) then treat yourself!

Hope that helps?

if you aint going outside then you dont really need one as hospitals r usually nice and warm.

I'm in the same boat as you.

I was in hosptial just over a week ago just for the day (had an abscess drained). It is the same place I'll be going to, to prepare for my bypass. The surgical gown just fitted and I had to ask for another one to use as a dressing gown.

Gosh and them paper knickers are a joke, I think they are one size (blooming small) nearly cut off my blood supply lol. I had to ask for a bigger pair, they reminded me of Fish Net Tights lol.

I want a long dressing gown, don't want to flash me bum on the way to threatre lol.

Thanks everyone for your replies, the jury is still out on whether I should get one or not! Mandyl that's what I was thinking about, walking to the theatre, I don't fancy showing anything off to any poor souls passing by.

Pinkybuttonz I like your idea of using two gowns, one back to front...

Hmmmm perhaps a long rain mac would do the job, at least then I've got all angles covered if I decide to leg it at the last minute!!! :winter_brr:

I took mine in with me and as it had to be big enough to wrap around my ample (For ample read chuffin ginormous ) frame it weighed a ton.

Schlepped it up to the ward and hung it on a hanger and there it stayed. Never wore it.

I took one and didnt wear it - used a cardi instead! xx
