BigTink2LilTink 723 Posted November 19, 2015 Right now at 11 months post surgery I went from being a 56/58 to now I'm in a 40/42. Ideal size for me would be about a 34/36. So I'm really really close to reaching that goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NCTRNL 25 Posted November 19, 2015 I was wearing 52's before and now I'm wearing 42's...who knows where I'll end up but it's pretty damn cool how much everything has changed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigDaddyJG 67 Posted November 19, 2015 I was wearing 46/48 and now I'm in 38s. So good. I'd be happy at 36/38. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OneDollarBill 371 Posted November 19, 2015 If I go by the link to that Men's Health article with the 2:1 ratio then 36" would be my ideal. Good number to shoot for then So this was posted about a month post-op. I can say that is WAS a good number to shoot for and I am currently wearing 36"s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmedic72 130 Posted November 20, 2015 I'm just over a month out and am in a size 32-33. That's where I want to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Ney 4 Posted November 29, 2015 I'm currently 32, but the pants are a little baggy in the seat. I wish I could get back up to a 34. I felt and looked better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cdaddy 22 Posted December 3, 2015 I'm at a 36 levi now. I'm very happy with it. I'm only 7 months out of sleeve surgery. I'm hoping to definitely get down to a 34 no less than that. But the difference in brands are crazy. I tried gap jeans on they were pretty snug old Navy very lose. American Eagle and Levi fit well. I remember when I was huge I would by old Navy jeans just for the smaller number Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good number to shoot for then So this was posted about a month post-op. I can say that is WAS a good number to shoot for and I am currently wearing 36"s Since this post my 36" Levi 559s are getting loose around the waist. I could probably wear 34"s. I asked for a pair for Christmas. Even if they don't fit it will be a goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chuckjones 13 Posted December 15, 2015 I am a slow looser so it has taken me a year and half since surgery but I finally hit 30W x 30L. That's down from a size 52W two years ago. I feel wonderful. I am flipping over backwards with joy. I never ever dreamed I'd be this small again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chuckjones 13 Posted December 17, 2015 If you want a ladies point of view. My son at size 32 is too skinny and I know he would vote 34[/quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chuckjones 13 Posted December 17, 2015 No I don't want a ladies point of view. This is a guys room and we are talking about ourselves. Being told you are too skinny is insulting. Please don't post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DavidOso 272 Posted December 22, 2015 i wear "chef wear" pants. baggy and elastic waist. largest 5 X, currently 3 X. at my healthiest i wore a 32 square. i don't think i can get to 32 without a little snip, snip here, snip, snip, there. getting into a 38 would be like crossing the bridge into "onederland". just about half way there!

Andrew0929 1,101 Posted December 22, 2015 I was 54" for many years. I've gotten down to 34" since 9 months post op and remain at 34" 2 years out. Hoping to stay at this size forever ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suitechicguy 105 Posted January 11, 2016 I am 32/34 depending on what style of pants. This is coming from a 52. I never thought I would be below 36. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
