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!

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!

 Here is another THANKS for posting!  The swelling has really made me feel fat all over again.  I'm so glad to hear that others are dealing with swelling and the feelings behind it.
