Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

I have a question about waist sizes of pants sold in stores. Currently I can fit into a 30" waist in jeans (they are loose enough for me to pull them down without unbuttoning/unzipping them) and I have been looking for a size 28. Do they sell them in stores? I have been to a couple of stored but the smallest size they seem to have are 30s.

I just did a quick check on Amazon.com.... yes they do sell jeans in size 28 for men.. BTW great job!!!! You need to look for 'slim fit' jeans, verses straight leg or loose fit...

@@Redmaxx Yes men sizes normally go like.... 24, 26 28 30....etc. then the length.... My son (who is 6'3 and weights 170) wears a 28/32... my soon to be ex is 6'4" and weights 230-240 and wears a 36/34

JCPenny's , Dillards are great places to get your correct size..... are go to a mens shop like Men's warehouse

Congrats on the weight loss.

Note: Women are in two also.... 0, 2, 4, 6, 8....petite, average and tall..... Jr's are in odds... 1, 3, 5, 7... petite, average, tall.

Yeah, I was looking online and I can find them there. I guess the two stores I looked at must just not sell them in store.

Is that a question you thought you would ever ask?

Congrats.

Side story:

Years ago I was in San Francisco for business. I'd been needing new jeans and coincidentally SF was the world headquarters for Levi's. Problem solved, I thought. Their flagship store consisted of five floors of jeans: "Skinny", "Thin", "Matchstick", "Slim", "Narrow"... I asked where the more "relaxed" styles were. "Oh. umm... I think we still have some over here in the corner." I was led to a single rack with a scattered selection of sizes. Wasn't America largely overweight? Wasn't there an obesity epidemic? Where the hell were these "Matchstick" people? Where the hell were the clothes for the rest of us? I left the store empty handed, in shame and disbelief.

      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!
