lb_leeRogan: word of advice for anyone undergoing a hysterectomy who do not like dresses: kilts.
I bought a basic discount Verillas kilt as a sort of COVID luxury buy, and I have never been so grateful for the purchase. The enormously-adjustable velcro waistband doesn't dig into my incisions (unlike all of my jeans and even some tights), it has big roomy pockets that don't bang into any of my healing parts (also unlike my jeans), no bending is required to put it on or take it off, and it is just the most comfortable piece of recovery wear I own. It is cool in the summer and easy to layer for warmth in cooler weather. Also, they come in various pride colors. (Mine is just plain olive drab because I am a boring man with a boring favorite color.)
I am super grateful that my roommate VR Viking told me about them, and let me try on his so I realized that I wanted one and would not hate the results of buying online. (VR Viking could shove me down one pant leg, so yes, the waistband is THAT adjustable.)
