Hi all. I'm 6 days post op and I'm tired of wearing yoga pants or pj bottoms, and I'd like to wear jeans.

Do you think its ok to wear them now? When did you start wearing them again?

Thanks!

I started wearing jeans about 3 weeks post-op. I hadn't worn them in a couple of years, because I refused to buy a larger size. So, when I tried on a pair that I used to wear and could fit into them comfortably, I wore them. It didn't bother my incisions or anything. I'm sure it's okay for you now, if you are comfortable in them. If they bother your incision AT ALL, DON'T DO IT YET. Go for it if you can.

My surgeon nurse said I could wear jeans when ever it felt comfortable to me. I'm 5 days post-op and I started wearing jeans at day 3

It took me 2 weeks post surgery to wear jeans - it would push too much on my new port! I almost passed out in the grocery store because I tried to wear jeans 5 days post surgery. I know it stinks but it's better than passing out!

If you are comfy in them, I don't see any harm. I wore jeans 4 days post-op. The position of my port and all my incisions are well above where the waist of my jeans hits me so it didn't irritate me at all. I think it helps if you have stretchy and/or loose jeans too. The swelling and gas would probably make tight jeans feel extra tight.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
