Currently I can wear an XL and it's a bit loose. After the tt, what size do you all think I could wear? I haven't asked the surgeon yet but will do so next wed for my preop.

Cant really comment on what size you will be. I had mine on Friday an I can't fit any of my pre-op clothes. Personally I think it's gonna take about a month or two before the swelling will go down to the point that I can at least fit back into my regular clothes. Normally I'm a size 14. I would love to be a 12 or even 10 after all swelling is gone for good.

It really depends on how much skin you have removed and your body proportions.  I would say that, unless you have a LOT of excess skin bring removed, expecting to be one size smaller would be realistic, though.

Prior to my TT I was a small 12. I have had very little swelling and I am in an 8 now. I don't forsee going any smaller because my jeans are hugging my hips pretty good...
For you I would count on at least 1 size...

I didn't lose any size, my size just fits me a lot better. :-)  Although I do have problems now with jeans that rub my hip bones (and my incisions) even after everything is healed.
