How Long Before I Can Stand Pressure On My Tummy?



Recommended Posts

Sleeved on 9/20. I need o go back to work on Monday and I can not stand any pressure on my tummy. I have been wearing my elastic waist pants and choosing ones that will stay up but have plenty of space in the waist. I have been wearing my grown up work clothes for several hours a day but the panty hose ( tmi I know) and pants with defined waist and tucked in blouse is very uncomfortable after a couple hours. Any one here just have to just suck it up and wear it? If so, how long does it take?

I was also sleeved on 9/20. Today was my first day back to work and I bought pantyhose 2 sizes larger size so they wouldn't be as tight and would rise higher than my incisions. Overall they didn't feel too bad.

My, my surgeon must have done a really good job because I was sleeved on 9/27 and I no longer feel much pressure from clothes on my belly or from the steering wheel of the car that is still a little tight.

I did major cleaning of my closet today and tried on many clothes. The skirts (size 16 - 18) are very loose in the waist and I can maybe stand a blouse tucked in them. I am thinking about getting some thigh high hose. I have tried them in the past and I did not like them as well as the panty hose but I may buy a pair and give them a try. I also have 4 insect bites on my trunk that are itching like heck. I have been using a spray on them.

I am fine in my knock around clothes. It is just the dress up stuff.

I'd catch on fire if I had to wear pantyhose! I don't even remember the last time I had a pair on. I didn't know anybody wore them anymore...I'm sorry you ladies have to wrestle with those evil things with a sore tummy!

I think the last time I wore pantyhose I was 3 years old... The way my mom tells the story she had dressed me up for Easter Sunday service and put pantyhose on me. She went to get herself ready for church and when it was time to leave I was standing IN the toilet, shoes and all, yelling about hating the "tights"!!!

Never made me wear them again ;)

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
