Can you wear socks in the OR?
I am funny about my feet. I normally have my pap smear in August and I wear sandels all summer long. When I go to the GYN, I take a pair of socks. I do not want my feet in anyones face and my feet are dry so I definitely don't want anyone looking at them
Thanks

Can you wear socks in the OR?
Hi GeorgiaPeach3,
I was given socks (with treads) at the hospital to wear when I changed into the lovely gown before surgery. I had them on when I went into the OR... and I had them on when I was taken to my room... so I guess they were on the whole time! I prefer to have my feet covered up.. so I was happy to get socks. I took some of my own to wear home too.
Best Wishes on Nov. 17th!!

I was given those thin papery booties to wear. It seems your feet will be covered with either your own or something given to you - I don't think you are allowed to be barefoot in surgery.

If you have a TVH, your feet won't be in anyones face but almost your own lol. I understand about the socks. I always wear them for exams too.

I feel the same way about my feet also! I was always given the socks with treads on them to put on over top of the lovely support hose they make me wear. lol!

I've had numerous surgeries and each time have been given a new pair of "non-skid" slipper socks. I love'm! I even bring them home to wear around the house and they are brand new so why not!
Chances are, you'll be given the same, it's pretty routine in most hospitals now.

Hi Georgia,
I was also given the socks with treads on them to wear. If they don't give them to you don't be afraid to ask for them. They want you to feel as comfortable as possible. Good luck on 11/17.

You should try baby oil gel on your feet. It works great. Just be sure to let it soak in before you walk around.
