Still can't wear jeans.



Recommended Posts

8 days post op and I can't wear anything but pj's, sweat pants and yoga pants. How long did it take you to be comfortable in jeans?

I know that you don't want to hear this. I could've been in my jeans on day 1. My point is that everyone is different.

It took me a week or so to wear them a few hours. Slowly I was able to wear them longer Nad longer. Most days I can wear my jeans all day but there are days I cant. Sleeved 9/19

It was a couple of weeks for me. The problem was sitting- -jeans didn't come close to my lowest incision while standing, but they irritated it when sitting.

I was able to wear jeans from the first week, but my incisions are above my waistline (one in my belly button), so they aren't touched by the jeans.

My incisions were very close to the waist line. I couldn't wear jeans for a good 4 weeks. After the incisions healed, I was able to wear them again. By that point, they were too big ;-). Fortunately, I had some smaller ones from my "old closet."

I am living in LulaRoe leggings and yoga pants.

What size are you? I got some TC leggings and one pair is tight as all, and the others ripped on the butt. Like. Big rips. I'm an 18 so I don't get it - everywhere online says they go to a 22 and some people say 24 can fit. They're so soft!!

I also had an umbilical hernia repaired at the same time my sleeve was done.

I waited 3 weeks before wearing belted pants.

Loose fitting gym clothes where my norm from the hospital until that 3 week mark.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
