Most of the time....: Most operating rooms have a surgical protocol that asks, but may require patients to wear only a hospital "johnnie" to the operating room. We are all professionals and treat patients with respect.

Yes: As part of the sterile procedure of most operating rooms, all outside clothing should be removed before you enter.
