I had the same problem. I wore only button up duster and bathrobe for first week or so, no pants. Then I used next size up nylon underwear and 2 size up loose fitting workout pants with elastic band waist that I had to secure with a sturdy chip bag clip. ( light plastic didn't hold) I had to yank and pull up almost to my chin but it worked. I then progressed to my own elastic loose pants and did the yank and pull technique. I tried hangers bent, tongs, plastic hangers, and a dressing stick with a hook on the end to pull up my pants but none worked because there was no belt loop to pull on and the curve around the hip didn't cooperate. I am at almost 6 weeks after replacement surgery and it is getting easier. My sympathies, it is really frustrating!
