What Did You Guys Wear?



Recommended Posts

To everyone who went back to work a few days later and stuff, what pants did you wear?? Everything hurts my incisions!

I am one week post op and it was a challenge to find clothes just to take my daughter out for a haircut. Thank Goodness I kept some maternity pants. :)

I lived in yoga pants and tees the first three weeks. I went back to work with low rise jeans and had no problems. Good luck finding something that is comfortable for you.

You'll have lots of big pants really soon. Be patient about another week. My biggest problem now is finding pants that fit halfway decent and stay that way for a few weeks. I buy them too tight and wear them until they won't stay on. I need to invent some suspenders that are "flesh" colored (that's a joke right there) and go UNDER my shirts......

What about a comfy dress? Not sure what your job is and how strict they are on wardrobe. I live in sun dresses in the Summer- a nice cardi over it can dress on up a bit perhaps?

I lived in dresses or wore my pants low because they were just big enough:)

I wore skirts with elastic waists, paired with a shirt I wore on the outside as to disguise any swelling going on. I especially like wearing that "slinky" fabric skirts & tops. Also, I wore my waist binder for the first month....under my pants, skirts & loose tops!

Yeah, it's weird that my waist/belly button area is 2 inches smaller around, but I can barely button my pants :-)

Can't go wrong with elastic waistbands or ones that tie (easy to adjust)! :rolleyes:

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
