Panty hose are good if you are going to rob a bank.

@@BigViffer ... they are SO uncomfortable.

You could wear them for a day and discover that for yourself. ;)

OK, dumb male here; why are they a bad mistake?

panty hose compress the incision points and the newly stapled stomach. I was hoping for some tummy support, but it is a disaster of painful squashiness.

lol, I'm just glad this isn't another "I drank a bottle of wine 10 days after surgery and now I regret it" or "I ate a cheeseburger 10 days after surgery, have I ripped my stomach open?" type of post!

OP, I am sorry for your misadventure with pantyhose. Hope you are all better soon.

Lol, I love pantyhose. I live in Florida so I generally don't get to wear them, but the new Spanx version at Kohls does fantastic things for your butt. I also like tights because they make my legs looks far slimmer and less flabby than they are so I can wear shorter dresses. Weirdly though I've noticed since surgery the compression band that comes to the rib cage makes it almost impossible to eat when I'm wearing tights- it's like it finds the one spot of my stomach where it can squish my sleeve to a point where eating is uncomfortable.

Although, to be fair, wearing them after stomach surgery sounds terribly uncomfortable, both around the incisions and the squishing in general.

Umm.... how about no? :)

Ah, I would have thought the compression would have felt good for that exact reason. But I guess it makes sense, they aren't designed for tummy support.

And while you are at it, @@BigViffer, stuff your moobs into some underwire. :D

lol, now you ladies are going off the reservation!

      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.
