FINALLY going down a size
Thanks for posting this. I have yet to drop a size.
Preop pants are big but not enough to toss/replace.
Plus my upper abd swells so bad by the end of the day, I would be afraid to have a smaller size.
You give me hope!!

Laura,
Thanks so much for posting this. I realize I only had a TT and most of my "skin" is in the back and side, but I did expect to at least go down a size! I was looking forward to the shopping opportunity and well, it surely hasn't happened. Everything still fits (kinda)! Anyway, you look awesome!

Thank you for posting about the uopper swelling. I still get swollen by the afternoon and around my belly button. But my size 6's presurgery pants finally fit. YEAH but I still feel swollen in my hips evn though I wasnt cut there i still feel swollen... Hoping it subsides more as the days pass.... Thank you again for your post!!!
Glad to hear that. It is encouraging. I am 5 weeks post-op (yesterday) and it seems my swelling has been at its worse this week. I was quite busy this weekend and was doing a lot of work, so I am thinking maybe that has something to do with it as well . I tried to put a pair of jeans on today and unless I smashed myself - I could not button them. I was not about to be uncomfortable all day today just to wear jeans. Work is going to have to still deal with me in my comfy pants (thank goodness hubby owns the business) ;-).
I will be glad to wear jeans again, so I hope it is soon.
BTW...you look AMAZING!
