I am having hip replacement surgery in two weeks and want to buy appropriate clothes to wear afterwards. I find lots of advice about wearing loose clothing BUT I cannot find anything suitable actually to buy. I am wondering about an A line dress, maybe a pinafore dress, or trousers which would be loose enough, or soft pull on skirts - but cannot find anything on line which seems to fill the bill. Please can anyone help?

Applegran I began the hip and knee thread just before my operation 3 years ago because I didn’t know anyone who had had this procedure and was very nervous as I hadn’t had any operations before. It helped enormously to have my questions answered.

There is no need to buy anything. Your normal things will be fine.
