WORTH IT
I had gastric bypass surgery in 2011. It resulted in weightloss of 150 pounds. My belly had bothered my for a really long time and after my last child in 2014 I decided it was time to say farewell to the excess skin. I had 3 kids and I was just not happy with my appearance at all. I feel so much better know that it's no longer hanging around

Jean fitting

Out of curiosity did other fellow panni patients not fit into their jeans for a while??? I made the mistake of trying to put a pair of my jeans on today and the swelling is so bad I couldn't fit them yet...I got very discouraged and was winding how long before I can start wearing jeans again

You look great and it's still early in your recovery ... I wouldn't stress over the jeans thing. I'm trying to tell myself that the surgeries changed my body shape and I might need to change the style of jeans I wear. I used to be able to tuck the excess skin into the jeans to hide the skin. I don't need to do that anymore :)

Totally!!! I'm 3 months out from my Panni and my scars are still tender...so I can't wear my jeans yet. Even if my grundies get on parts of my scar it hurts. I don't know how much longer it will be like this...I'm getting ready to bite the bullet again and just wear them. After my surgery I could fit into my size 10 jeans...now I can wear size 8. I guess it is what it is!!!

2 weeks post op

Today I'm 2 weeks post op and I'm feeling great. I still get a little worn out fast and the swelling gets worse at night. I have to be honest and say I haven't been wearing my binder but I'm thinking it might be a good idea to start. Still in a little bit of pain but in very stubborn and just need to rest more I think.
