Waist in my pants are so tight and uncomfortable
Absolutely possible. One week post-op you shouldn't have any gas left in your abdomen, but you may still have some fluids and whatnot hanging around.
Switch to leggings or PJ pants and get comfy!

I had the belly-swelly for about 2.5 weeks! Everyone's different, some have flat stomachs in few days, some in weeks. I think it's normal. For me- i could feel my waist going down in inches but when I measured my belly button it was more than before the surgery. It will go down, It's my 3rd week post op and my belly is fine now :)

I buy Chico Travelers pants. They are business like and even while losing - They often lasted me 2-3 sizes. New are expensive but I get mine on sale, or get from Ebay or thrift stores.
