I'm two weeks post surgery and my waist is 2" bigger than it was 20 lbs ago. I'm getting smaller everywhere else but can't ditch the old jeans yet. Ugh!

You will get there before you know it! Congrats on making the decision to have surgery. It has been the best decision I have ever made! If you are only two weeks out you still are probably experiencing quite a bit of abdominal swelling it normally takes 4 -6 weeks for that to completely resolve. Give it a month - by May 1st those jeans are going to be falling off!

Hang in there! I had surgery on 2/13/15 and my pants are just know to the point where I can fit into them. But I'm trying to hold off a little while longer on. Using jeans/pants because I want to buy new spring/summer clothes!

One of the great things about bariatric surgery was how quickly I began to drop clothing sizes. I would buy a pair of pants one week that I could barely fit in. (I would take a deep breath and suck it all in to get the pants on.) The next week they would fit like a glove. It will happen to you. Be a little patient. But then marvel at how good it is making you feel.

I was wondering about the stomach/pants issue also and I just hit 4 weeks out and everything started falling off. Didn't think about swelling! Thanks guys and gals!

I have had the same thing going on. My stomach is still swollen-bloated at the top and I don't like anything tight on my waist but the legs of pants are very baggy! Hoping stomach and waist will catch up soon!
