At about 2 1/2 weeks but the waistband hurt so I only wore them a few hours at a time.

Me too. I wore jeans about a week and a half after surgery. I was super sore!!!

I wore jeans about 2 weeks after surgery but wearing bra was a whole different story. I couldn't wear a bra longer than an hour for over a month. Horrible. Wear what makes you comfortable. Dresses and spandex were are life savers :)

I wore them home from the hospital. For some reason, I never had much incisional or abdominal pain.

Ok, you younger ladies or any ladies that are more in tune with fashion. How weird would leggings look on a 54 year old fat woman with a dress? I only see 6 year olds in leggings but I see skinny chicks in skin tight pants that are like leggings. With a dress they should end under your knee right? I just cant bare my fat white legs to the public.

Do you mean leggings like tights? I think of those as more something for fall/winter, but honestly, I think anything goes--I would go with whatever makes you feel comfortable. Or you could get some opaque type hose.

Has anyone tried wearing Spanx post op? To try to minimize sagging? I know that when ppl get Lipo they are required to wear girdles after to keep the skin from sagging?

I have thought about this too. I'm concerned for the pain since I can't bend or contort right now to get in them. I'm thinking it may be a good idea though.

I wear dresses and leggings almost everyday. I'm 22 so I know you are worried about being too old but I don't think you are. As long as the dress suits your style I'm sure you could pull it off :)

Vegasneon...if you are handy with a sewing machine maybe you want to convert a couple pairs of your jeans to the "pregnancy-style" ones with the stretchy panel around belly...I had a former boss that did this while she was pregnant...imagine it would be handy in this situation as well

Oh thank you, maybe this will become my new style!

I actually thought of that because I did that when I was pregnant. Last resort!

Please do! Are you wearing gauze pads over your incisions or are they "naked" ?

      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.

      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!!
