I’m 11 weeks post op, down 65 pounds (including 23 prior to surgery). I JUST ordered some pants on Amazon because I have to hold my pants up when I walk if I don’t wear a belt. But I found the cheapest ones I could find. (I have the struggle of needing a 34” inseam so it’s too hard to find any at thrift stores). I’m tempted to send one of them back because they’re a bit loose fitting which means they’ll be too big in a few weeks.
I do have these buckle-less belts which have helped extend the wearability of my old pants. Think like kids clothes with the adjustable elastic in the back so they can grow with them and last longer. I LOVE them.

Also, if you are on Facebook there’s a group for wls patients to exchange clothes. The receiver only pays shipping! This one is a group for women, I don’t know if that works for you.. but I’m sure you could find one for men if you’d prefer that. 😀
