Hysterectomy! OMG!!!

It's been about 4 months since surgery and now that I'm getting back to exercising regular I found I had to buy new bike shorts. Some of the old ones I had were just painful as the band at the top would push too close to my incision scar. I found a pair of Terry shorts on clearance the other day which seem to be ok. I'll try them out in the morning. Anyone have experience with this? Even some exercise capris are painful. I cannot wear jeans or anything with a button/zipper b/c it still hurts after a while. I looked at some of those Yoga work pants, beta brand?, anyone try these?

I don't have a scar to accommodate, but I find the waistband of the Gore Oxygen shorts to be very comfortable, not at all tight or irritating.

You might want to look at bib shorts. Another possibility would be to call TE and ask for their recommendation. Unfortunately they're low on inventory right now as they prepare for a warehouse move, but if they have anything good in your size you can probably get it on sale.

It's great that you're back to being able to exercise. I hope things are going well.

Yep, I remember that part well. Even my undies bothered me for a while. I had to get "granny panties" to come up above the incision. Yoga type pants worked well. Try to look for some Jag brand pants. They have a great line of pull on pants. Jeans, khakis, etc. I love them because I hate that bump from the zipper. look on 6pm.com. They usually have them on sale. I have found them to be true to size.

Cool! Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. It's so strange I keep getting the 'sticky pains' as I call them in the incision. Must be the nerves regrowing. Sometimes it feels like there is a hot pin sticking me. It's usually short lived but annoying as I find myself jumping out of my chair at work sometimes. I've done the granny panty thing too, LOL. I will check out 6pm. I think I have a pair of bibs floating around here somewhere, I will have to dig for them.
