This might seem like a silly thing to worry about, but I'm wondering whether my waist will be smaller after my colon is gone (independent of any weight loss or gain). I am a very small person and have a devil of a time finding clothes that fit - a lot of times, if a store even carries a size 0 or 1 pants, it's still too big. I've seen some people comment that their waist is lopsided, but what about the overall waist measurement? Will I have to give up pants forever, or shop in the children's section??

I wore 34 pants before surgery and I wear 34 pants now, exact same fit. The surgeries shouldn't do too much to the actual waistline as far as size goes, after everything heals up.
No such luck...

Yeah, I am kind of lopsided now but my clothes fit fine and since I do not wear anything tight on top, you can't tell. I still buy the same size. I have mourned my flat belly and have moved on, lol.
Thanks for the replies! I don't really mind if my belly looks different, just relieved that clothes will still fit.
