Hi guys. So some of my pants are getting too loose. Yahoo! But to keep my wardrobe costs reasonable I am wondering if I could belt some. The problem is normal belt digs into my incision when I sit down. Has anyone seen an elastic style belt that would hold my pants up but not be so rigid when I sit or squat? I tried Amazon but the one kind they had didn't have very good reviews.

I used some pretty scarfs/sashes and tied them off. Looked nice and very soft. I'd check out thrift stores for those or belts that might work for cheap.

I saw tons of elastic belts on Amazon with high ratings tho?

Maybe I was looking under the wrong thing. The one plus size I saw said came undone when you sat or bent over.

How about a maternity/pregnancy band like women wear when they outgrow their pants. Gives a layered look if seen under your shirt and comes in different colors. It looks like a tube top for your waist/belly area.

I sometimes steal my son's dapper snappers. It's an elastic strap with snaps that goes through a couple of your belt loops. On him, it goes through the three loops in the back. On me, I do it through two loops. It adds just enough cinching power to keep up my pants without the annoyance of a belt.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
