My surgery date is Sept 12. How soon after the surgery do your pants outgrow you?

I was in a smaller size within a month, but I was already down some with the pre-op weight loss, and the surgery kicked my size down even more. I would limit purchasing to one size smaller and use thrift/consignment shops to reduce cost. I feel like I've blown through a lot of clothes on this journey, and I'm only 3.5 months after surgery. I even bought a skirt at a thrift store that I shrunk out of before I even got to wear it, and I only had it a week or two.

Maybe you'll be fortunate enough to have a coworker who will clothing swap like I did. She had some pants that she had grown out of, and I'm borrowing them until I shrink out of them.

Good luck with your surgery and healing!

It's been a month and I am down three pant sizes so I had to break down and buy a couple of pairs. I have some older (smaller) pants that I am reusing as well, but my jeans are really super loose. Initially, you will be a little swollen from the gas and healing but within 2 weeks I started having issues keeping them up.

Good Luck with the surgery!

Eavesdropping, my surgery day is September 5th, since the higher your surgery weight is, the longer it will take to " undergrow" ---my personal bet for me second-thied week of October. Someone should start a record-keeping like YLime does for the Summer 2018 Surgeries. Lets see if I am right, I just might surprise myself and I will admit if I miss-guessed.
So Frust8- 2nd- 3rd week,October size change.

Update last few days of September- still in 26 and 3X- getting some looser but not a decrease. Will I make the 2nd3rd week October? I'M TRYING I'M TRYING!??

You will make it!
