I am 5'2 and currently 175 lb. I am 6 weeks postpartum after delivering to twin boys via C-section. I ordered a large based on my measurements, however it does fit comfortably. Almost a little too comfortably. I imagine once I am fully healed, this garment will fit too loose. For someone around my size, who is not recovering from surgery of any kind, I would recommend ordering one size down. The only issue, is that the large fits wonderfully over my breasts (34DD) and I'm curious as if the medium would fit to snug. Anyhow, we are all shaped differently, the seller does allow for returns or exchanges, so order based on measurements as they suggest and then go from there. As you can see from my photos it does fit quite loosely around the legs. Since I do plan to use this in the long run, I'm going to keep the large for now and as I lose weight I will resize it as I own a sewing machine. All in all, would recommend.
