Question for Post-ops

I am wondering if anyone else is having the same problem i am. I did'nt think to ask it last night at the support group meeting..... but here it is. I love my jeans. Since surgery i have not been able to fit into them... yet i lost 21.5 pds .... has this happened to any of you? I am trying to take into consideration that i am only post - op 3 weeks... but still... its been 3 weeks... shouldnt the swelling be down by now? Thanks for the input..... Christine

Christine~ I am guessing that what you are experiencing is pretty normal. I say that because I had the same thing happen to me. I was losing weight like mad after surgery, but my jeans and underwear were tighter than before! I think it's the swelling from the incisions and some of the gas that is still trying to hang on in there? I had the same thing, give it another 2 weeks, mine jeans fit great 5 weeks after surgery, they were actually lose by the time I tried them on... you are doing great!!! Michelle Brennan

hi chistine i think i couldn't put my old jeans on for a few weeks -- but then again i couldn't fit into them before surgery lol but i did notice that my belly sat differently after surgery -- now at just 2 days shy of 3 months it REALLY sits differently and i like it too but i had open rny -- maybe that is different -- not sure take care to you and hubby roberta
