Judging by the replies and obvious interest it looks like there are quite a number of us abdominally challenged folks out there. Here's how I did my very cheap fix for our mutual problem. I have Voyageur FZ (front zipper) PFD. It has three horizontal adjustment straps on each side. I just got two cheap 1/2 inch wide straps, plastic buckles and clips, like you can find in any outdoor gear store, and tied each one around the lower strap on either side of the PFD. Then just wrap the strap around your thigh and clip it together. If the strap is too long just cut off the excess. End of corset-like PFD, end of purple face from lack of oxygen, end of PFD trying to climb up your nose upon immersion.
