I didn't buy anything pre-surgery about at about 4 weeks post-op, Walmart had a sale and along with a few bits and pieces (and undies....I hate baggy undies! LOL), I bought some jeans.
Get this - I bought from size 18 to size 8! LOL Yep! 6 pairs. And here I am, 6 months later and I wear the 10's now - the 8's are a little hard to do up.
Last summer I was in 3-4X clothes
