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!

      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.
