Hi guys. So some of my pants are getting too loose. Yahoo! But to keep my wardrobe costs reasonable I am wondering if I could belt some. The problem is normal belt digs into my incision when I sit down. Has anyone seen an elastic style belt that would hold my pants up but not be so rigid when I sit or squat? I tried Amazon but the one kind they had didn't have very good reviews.

I used some pretty scarfs/sashes and tied them off. Looked nice and very soft. I'd check out thrift stores for those or belts that might work for cheap.

I saw tons of elastic belts on Amazon with high ratings tho?

Maybe I was looking under the wrong thing. The one plus size I saw said came undone when you sat or bent over.

How about a maternity/pregnancy band like women wear when they outgrow their pants. Gives a layered look if seen under your shirt and comes in different colors. It looks like a tube top for your waist/belly area.

I sometimes steal my son's dapper snappers. It's an elastic strap with snaps that goes through a couple of your belt loops. On him, it goes through the three loops in the back. On me, I do it through two loops. It adds just enough cinching power to keep up my pants without the annoyance of a belt.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
