Linda, while I was in the hospital after my initial surgery, not only did they have gowns to fit........my over 300 pound body was swallowed up by them!!
The hospital that I had my surgery at, has a whole floor for nothing but bariatric (sp) patients. The nurse's know that caring for obese patients can be a little diffrent than caring for a normal sized patient.
I had a male nurse hold my hand for over a half hour trying to comfort me after they found I had a leak, which of course required a second surgery.
Don't worry, they can take care of you now.
