State of Dress During Surgery

When I was 14 I had appendectomy. For the surgery I had to take off all of my clothes and had to put on a hospital gown. But I was put under general anesthesia so no idea if they removed the gown.

I also had two gynecologic surgeries under spinal anesthesia. During surgery I was fully nude only my breasts were covered by a white blanket and parts of my legs were covered by surgical draping.

For every surgery or procedure requiring some type of anesthesia. Just a gown until on the table and then nude. They like and need access to everything, plus the whole sterile field thing when they are prepping whatever body parts they are going after.

No problem for me, the work with nude bodies all the time and hell it's all about anatomy anyway.

I wish they cathed and or diapered more after surgeries so I could at least take a piss if needed lost ok from the bags of iv fluids they run without trying to reposition and unsuccessfuly use a urinal.

All three of my surgeries were genital related. I went into the operating room in a gown only. When interviewed by the anesthesiologist I asked to be but under as soon as possible to keep my anxiety down. An interventions drip was set up in the preoperative room. All I remember is helping them transfer me from the bed to the table, and asking me what procedure I was having done and who my surgin was.

My first procedure was a cystiscopey and a biopsy. Very short procedure. I do remember waking up in the recovery area. It was a large area with several patients. I was very groggy but in the same gown I went in with.

Soon taken to the waiting room with a catheter. And then released.

Both my second surgeries were long surgeries. Same start. Totally out within minutes of hitting the operating table. I have no recollection of any recovery room. I remember waking up in my room with a nurse there along with my wife and son. Again gown only and catheter. Was released next morning, way too soon in a lot of pain. We had over an hour ride home that was unbearable. Catheter stayed in for 5 weeks.

Third surgery same thing gown only, on the table and out. It was over an 8 hour surgery. Before surgery, I told my son and wife to go home when they were ready. No sense in waiting for me to wake up.

Again, I woke up in the room. I stayed 5 days, luckily as there were complications. During that time gown only. When I would walk out of the room, I had a second gown to pit on backwards. This time I came home with two drains to take care of for 4 weeks. What a pain in the but that was.

All this was in about a 6 week period. I was never hospitalized since I was 8 years old for a tonsillectomy. After all that any inhibitions or shyness are long gone. LOL!
