Hang in there it'll happen. I decided I was going to be cheap and just pin my clothes at the waist. The shirts you couldn't really tell. Then one day, about 6 months after the surgery, I decided to try on some of my daughter's clothes just to see how far I still had to go. Well, you can guess what came next. Her clothes fit me (and still do). I had no idea that I had gotten that small. My belly causes some problems now with fitting clothes you just have to try on a lot. Switch brands, you may be surprised there. I bought some pants at Good Will and still to this day can't get them on, even though they are the same size as my others. Don't give up!! It'll happen
