    you can wear jeans, but I doubt you will be comfortable. Honestly I would just wear something comfortable. I don't know how long your flight is, but honestly the last thing you want is to be on a plane with restricting clothes. I would also make sure you pack a bottle to keep full with water. You will definitely want to drink as much water as possible (even though your body will resist) this will help prevent blood clots.

    How long will you be gone? Just the 10 days?

    I stayed local for my surgery and packed very lightly for my overnight hospital stay and my week at home I stayed in loose comfy clothes. The following week I returned to work and still remained in loose clothing because anything "touching" me was an irritant. So for 2 weeks I lived in maxi skirts and dresses.
    Weight loss is different for everyone, I came home from hospital (30 hrs later) weighing 5 lbs more than when I went in and it took 3 days too lose those 5 # and another 5 to lose 5 more.

    No jeans for sure. I wore yoga pants after that I cuts two slits in so they were comfy and not pressing on my stomach. Best of luck!
