Tight Clothes Question

[marimar 32]

Would a tight clothes hurt your sleeve? I know is an stupid question but I'm a little concerned because part of my job is driving and today I'm wearing a jeans that they aren't too tight but when I'm sitting kinda hurt a little and also felt like all my organs are pushing up. Does somebody experience this also. Meant to say I'm 10 days postop.

I had a lot of discomfort for a few weeks after my surgery with tight clothing. My insides felt very heavy (especially when lying on my sides) and certain clothes were absolutely painful. I'm no doctor but I wouldn't think it will hurt your new stomach but I wouldn't blame you if you chose different clothing from here on out.

I stayed in yoga pants for almost a month after surgery. Just didn't wanna put on real pants lol

take care of your stomach by not wearing tight clothes for at least a month. There is no sense in taking any chances and hurting your nice new sleeve. You have all the time in the world to wear tighter clothes once you heal. Remember, your body has experienced a lot of trauma, take care of it!

Get a doctor's note so you don't have to wear pants to work! Or a bra!

For me it depended on where the pants sat on my waist. Jeans were actually okay, but I have these pj pants that hurt, hurt, hurt. So around the house it's t-shirt and panties for me.

I don't blame you.

I lived in "comfy pants" the first couple of months after my surgery. Elastic waist bands, generously sized clothes, sweatpants... you get the idea. By 2-3 months out or so, wearing tight pants didn't hurt any more than it did pre-op. Everyone is different, though, of course.

Oh yes, tight clothes were a big no for me! I lived in my fav yoga pants and a big tee for the three weeks I was off work. Even after I went back I left my pants unzipped, couldnt see it under my shirt so I was fine. It was about 6 weeks before I would wear something a bit tighter that didnt bother me.

On the other hamd, they gave me binder at the hospital that held me in and kind of splinted my stomach. Different strokes...
