For the first week or so after surgery it's advised that we wear loose fitting clothing. I could just get stretchy sweatpants, but I was hoping for something a little more... stylish?

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions for loose fitting pants/shirt other than sweatpants?

i wore a sundress. didn't want anything like a elastic band around my stomach. get yourself a mumu lol or something like that.

I see you posted this in the "men only" section but it popped up when I searched for new content since my last visit. I'm not a sweatpants kinda person and wanted something a bit tidier to wear in those initial weeks and found some soft cotton cargo pants. My surgery was mid-winter so I found them both comfy and warm.

I don't think that's going to work for any of us.

The good news, Geronimo, is that everything you own will be looser.

Under Armor long sweatpants and t-shirts are what I'm going to be wearing.

I lived in flannel pajamas... but did not go out much!

Oh I think guys in sundresses is hot.

I never threw anything out from my thinner late-teen years. Definitely just pulled all of those out of the attic. Loose-fitting is stuff is already causing problems. And I'm finding that when I wear clothes from the most recent times prior to surgery, none of the weight loss shows. It just looks dumb. So even dealing with something being tight for a little while is probably worth it. If you do have to buy new clothes, buy on the tight side, and eventually it'll be the perfect fit, and then eventually a little saggy. I don't think there is a different stylistic method that applies post-WLS.

I wore a sundress home then I went back to jean shorts the next day. My incisions are all above my belly button so I could wear regular pants no issue. The only problem I had was my bra rubbing my center incision but I kept it covered and that was it.

Hrmmm all good suggestions.

I was thinking an oversized trench coat.

Not likey to work for guys reading this thread unless they are having the Bruce Jenner operation.

Dub, very funny. I guess this is major surgery, so while they are in there....

Seriously, I was in Mexico and brought cargo shorts in hospital with elastic in waist band. And then had pants with elastic band for the plane ride home. Just wore t-shirts.

Good deal. Was starting to wonder with all the mumu-sundress suggestions.

I can hear the screaming protests just as the anesthesia takes over, "No.....not there.....not my junk......just my stomach" and then it's lights out.

Thanks for the advice y'all.

I am going shopping with the wife today.

I will be looking of some loose fitting, but fashionable sundresses and "mumu's".

Where do you get those in size 3x with 48" waist ?

Thanks, Mike

I actually found "fashionable" sweat pants to wear. The updated Joggers like these http://media.kohls.com.edgesuite.net/is/image/kohls/1740431_Medium_Gray_Heather?wid=800&hei=800&op_sharpen=1%C2'> at the Gap, banana, Kohl's and online in most places.
