Tight Clothes Question



Recommended Posts

Would a tight clothes hurt your sleeve? I know is an stupid question but I'm a little concerned because part of my job is driving and today I'm wearing a jeans that they aren't too tight but when I'm sitting kinda hurt a little and also felt like all my organs are pushing up. Does somebody experience this also. Meant to say I'm 10 days postop.

I had a lot of discomfort for a few weeks after my surgery with tight clothing. My insides felt very heavy (especially when lying on my sides) and certain clothes were absolutely painful. I'm no doctor but I wouldn't think it will hurt your new stomach but I wouldn't blame you if you chose different clothing from here on out.

take care of your stomach by not wearing tight clothes for at least a month. There is no sense in taking any chances and hurting your nice new sleeve. You have all the time in the world to wear tighter clothes once you heal. Remember, your body has experienced a lot of trauma, take care of it!

Get a doctor's note so you don't have to wear pants to work! Or a bra!

For me it depended on where the pants sat on my waist. Jeans were actually okay, but I have these pj pants that hurt, hurt, hurt. So around the house it's t-shirt and panties for me.

I lived in "comfy pants" the first couple of months after my surgery. Elastic waist bands, generously sized clothes, sweatpants... you get the idea. By 2-3 months out or so, wearing tight pants didn't hurt any more than it did pre-op. Everyone is different, though, of course.

Oh yes, tight clothes were a big no for me! I lived in my fav yoga pants and a big tee for the three weeks I was off work. Even after I went back I left my pants unzipped, couldnt see it under my shirt so I was fine. It was about 6 weeks before I would wear something a bit tighter that didnt bother me.

On the other hamd, they gave me binder at the hospital that held me in and kind of splinted my stomach. Different strokes...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
