How many sizes did you go down when you had plastics?

 I went from a 10 on my day of surgery, to either a 6 or an 8, depending on the cut.  But, my whole shape is changed.  I was a pear my whole life, and now I have a flat tummy, and no roll at all.  I used to wear A-line skirts and dresses because my big tummy roll would always protrude out - either a roll of fat before WLS, or a roll of extra skin after.  Now, what looks best on me is flat front jeans, pencil skirts, straight and clingy dresses - it's a whole new world!

I didnt change sizes on the top, but mostly due to the implants I have.  Medium tops fit me best.  But again, differently.  Before plastics, I had a hard time with button down shirts.  If they fit on the top, I could never get to button them all the way down because of my tummy.  Now things fit me perfectly.

I did not go down a single size post-lbl. I was a 4/6 before plastics and a 4/6 after. Some things fit a little better, but I really look no different in clothes. I'd still do it again in a heartbeat. I love my tummy now!!
