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!

      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?
