At about 2 1/2 weeks but the waistband hurt so I only wore them a few hours at a time.

Me too. I wore jeans about a week and a half after surgery. I was super sore!!!

I wore jeans about 2 weeks after surgery but wearing bra was a whole different story. I couldn't wear a bra longer than an hour for over a month. Horrible. Wear what makes you comfortable. Dresses and spandex were are life savers :)

I wore them home from the hospital. For some reason, I never had much incisional or abdominal pain.

Ok, you younger ladies or any ladies that are more in tune with fashion. How weird would leggings look on a 54 year old fat woman with a dress? I only see 6 year olds in leggings but I see skinny chicks in skin tight pants that are like leggings. With a dress they should end under your knee right? I just cant bare my fat white legs to the public.

Do you mean leggings like tights? I think of those as more something for fall/winter, but honestly, I think anything goes--I would go with whatever makes you feel comfortable. Or you could get some opaque type hose.

Has anyone tried wearing Spanx post op? To try to minimize sagging? I know that when ppl get Lipo they are required to wear girdles after to keep the skin from sagging?

I have thought about this too. I'm concerned for the pain since I can't bend or contort right now to get in them. I'm thinking it may be a good idea though.

I wear dresses and leggings almost everyday. I'm 22 so I know you are worried about being too old but I don't think you are. As long as the dress suits your style I'm sure you could pull it off :)

Vegasneon...if you are handy with a sewing machine maybe you want to convert a couple pairs of your jeans to the "pregnancy-style" ones with the stretchy panel around belly...I had a former boss that did this while she was pregnant...imagine it would be handy in this situation as well

Oh thank you, maybe this will become my new style!

I actually thought of that because I did that when I was pregnant. Last resort!

Please do! Are you wearing gauze pads over your incisions or are they "naked" ?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
