Do you think jeans would be uncomfortable with to wear home? They aren't tight at all

I couldn't wear jeans for a week, even my loose ones.

My stomach was actually swollen for a few days...the two incisions above my belly button. Jeans were an issue for the first four or five days.

Yoga pants or anything stretchy will also work. I would also recommend a HOT Compress, it helped with my abdominal pain/gas pain at night.

One thing I WISHED I had bad was a safety pin for my drain tube bubble. I had to wear my sweat jacket all the time to stuff it in my pocket.

yoga pants, tops that are comfortable not tight, zip up jacket or sweater, easy on and off shoes, I went to Mexico so I brought tank tops and layered so if I got hot I could remove or add when cold.

I packed pajamas, makeup, slippers and a book, none of which left my bag. I wore the same clothes home (loose sweats). I couldn't wear jeans for a week. I had an hour drive home so wish I would have taken a throw blanket and a pillow for my belly. Chapstick is a must!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
