Recommended Posts

Ok, so this may be a silly topic and I could honestly still wear my pj bottoms to work(the office is at my moms house). I just don't want to be one of "those people" in public with my pjs on lol. I haven't even tried my clothes on since I've been home.

What did you wear in those early days after surgery?

Sweat pants and track pants. It was depressing having to put back on the corporate garb after my disability ended.

I feel your pain!! I wore loose cotton nightgowns and robes for almost two weeks. I am short and the waistband of all my pants sat right on top of one of my incisions. When I finally started wearing my pants again they were a lot looser. In hindsight I should have purchased a few pairs of loose sweatpants or yoga pants.

I have high waist pants too and the incision at my bellybutton is the worst one. My jeans will be right there. It has been so nice wearing pjs everyday. I've had such a great day that im attempting to go to work tomorrow.

I wore yoga pants under my belly and my boyfriends hoodies and tshirts out in public. I wore dresses and tights when I had to go somewhere fancy

I wore flowy, loose skirts to work the first week I was back with cotton, soft leggings underneath. I didn't like my stomach being totally free, and the soft leggings over my incisions made me feel better. The skirt made me look like a professional, lol, and no one could see the leggings underneath.

How about wearing a bra? I'm going 6 days out and I can't put one one. I wear an underwire one. One of my incision is right in the middle where the bra would lay. ( any bra)

I wore an old pair of yoga pants, that turned into paint pants along the way haha.. I wore a lose shirt and even a Bra. Overall not a big deal..I had my husband stop at Walmart on the way home for me to buy some new yoga pants and a couple shirts.. (2 sizes smaller!! Yahoo) but the trip had me sooo tired that I took an hour nap when I got home lol

I'm a smidge over a month out and that incision is still a little sore from my bra rubbing on it. My WL provider suggested keeping it covered with gauze pads, but I've been lazy with that.

      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.

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