    Most of the guys I have seen in suspenders also wear belts.  Pretty conservative guys I guess. Probably had backups in their boots.  Might depend upon where the incision is, I gather there are different approaches so to speak.  You might check with Wundudnee before you buy, he's had it done a few times.

    Some are better than others.  With short time until surgery I would get a set of work wear suspenders.  There should be a local place to pick up Carhart or Dickies brands, they've always worked good for me.  You can always shop around or order some later if you want something else.

    sort of my thinking, we have a tractor supply, rural king and a workingmans store. susposedly there is only 2 week recovery, then about 4-6 of therapy, so should only need them for month or so unless end up liking them better than belt then guess can get better set.  thanks all

    Bib overalls worked for me. You can use them later for grubby work too. You might not want to wear them to the opera though!

    I never noticed any problems with a belt with my replacement surgeries. 
    The scar area was lower than that. 
    Plus, I stayed in sweat pants for the first few weeks for the most part. 
    Good luck to you.

    My experience with suspenders suggests that if you have the joint on your back as high as possible they will fall off your shoulders less often.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

     I wondered about that chief, I have no butt to speak of and just  wondered if jeans would rub...
    after my bypass I got used to the silky hawain shirts because they didn't seem to rub incesion as bad as any other shirt
    ended up with pair of soft almost neoprene type material, just over ten bucks so no big deal, will see how like em/they work before get anything else....

    Do you know why firemen wear red suspenders?
    I can't believe they misspelled "Pork and Beans!"

    The obvious escapes some people but jimdeere nailed it.

    When I was heavier (rounder -- make that "less defined waist") and carried a 44 magnum I wore suspenders and a belt.
    I found them comfortable but sometimes a pain putting them on and off my pants.  I usually wore them under my shirt.
    The clip-ons will fit everything from dress pants to sweat pants.

    I did what the chief said. Sweat pants. Regular pants or jeans are a bit restrictive. You won't want that. I had my left hip done. Now my left leg is noticeably longer than my right. Maybe a half inch. I mentioned it to the surgeon. He got that "busted" look on his face. He didn't know what to say.  Good Luck.

    What do you mean? I've seen lots of people wearing them at the Grand Ole Opry. You can't get anymore highfalutin than that.

    You have a point.
     I stand corrected!
