Discharge from hospital question

[sue_t]

Hi. I have a question. After a sleeve, when you are discharged from the hospital, is your stomach really distended?

I am trying to figure out if I can wear jeans that are comfortable now or will they be too binding post op.

Thanks!

they do pump a lot of fluids into you, so I would wear some elastic waistband pants for comfort til you get home lose some of that fluid and heal a little before putting on anything too binding. everyone is different so whatever you feel comfortable in. just a suggestion

Thanks. The pants I wear the most are these Lee comfort waste that have elastic built into the waste. I love them! As I have yo-yo'ed over the past year, they were always my go to pant.

Thanks for your help.

Yes, be comfortable. Don't wear anything tight. Some of your incisions are right along the belt line

I was told to wear loose fitting clothes to the hospital, but my tummy wasn't too distended.
