Question: should I count on going boobie commando for the ride home and for however long after, or will I be able to wear my bra home from the hospital and forever and ever after???

I wore my sweats to and from the hospital and a thirt. I went bra commando for the first full week. My top incision was right where my bra sat so I didnt want to bother it. Even the week I went back to work, I was slightly irritated in that spot when wearing my bra.

I didn't have a problem wearing a bra, I just had to ask my husband to hook it for me!

Just banded on the 7th. Over the head motion no problem. I wore an oversized fleece shirt and elastic waist jeans. I didn't do the bra and underwear though. The bra would irriated the surgery area and panties would make it hard to pull up the pant. As soon as I was home changed into my pjs.

Today wearing all regular clothes and did 1/2 mile walk and about to do another.

Hello everyone, I hope everyone is doing well!

I wore a "track suit" with a t-shirt and flip flops. I did wear panties, dont remember how they got back on though :sad:...and a hook in front sports bra from wallyworld. It was cheap and comfy. I havent tried jeans yet, kinda scared to. I am still pretty puffy from the gas!!! I hope it goes away soon!

Good luck with your surgery!

I wore Yoga pants and a large oversized sweatshirt, granted it was February in North Dakota:) I had a hard time putting my hands above my head at first though, so I would opt for a comfy button shirt if you have!

I wore a pair of stretchy yoga pants and a comfy top. Oh and flip flops! I couldnt imagine trying to put on regular shoes after the surgery.. flip flops made it so easy

Thanks for all the great ideas (and good lucks!). I'm gonna have to go thru my closet to see what I've got. The slip on shoes are no problem but no button down shirts...(*shiver, i hate them). And, I am not going to ask my dad to help me dress (*double shiver). lol

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
