So technically there is a whole sub forum on here called the Clothing Exchange (way down at the bottom of the forums page) but it doesn't seem to get any action! I REALLY think if we all utilized this it could be amazing for all of us! Just think... having a place to turn to get free clothes for a size you know you won't be in for long.... and easing the guilt of throwing out your own stuff that is too big because you know someone on here can utilize it.

I happen to have a HUGE bag of stuff ready to go. I might take it to a consignment shop but before I do I wanted to at least ATTEMPT to find people on here to give it away to!!

I have many many tops in sizes 3X from Lane Bryant, nice stuff from JC Penney and other places too. I also have NICE dress/work pants in black size 24, a nice tweed pair I believe in size 24.... I have denim skirts super cute with beaded flowers on them in sizes 26 and 22... never worn. I have a whole bunch of stuff with the tags still on. I am more than willing to send a photo and even take measurements but I am hoping to send a lot of stuff to just a few people so it's not TOO much work...

.. and of course I'm hoping it will come back around and people will start offering up their stuff so I have a pool to draw from for myself too!:thumbup:

So if you think you might be interested, send me a PM or reply here, tell me what you're looking for and I'll tell you if I have it!!

I think this is a great idea. I don't need anything yet, but I'm sure I will. And I'll be happy to offer my clothes as well. I think we should should have the receipient pay the shipping. The one giving the clothes needs to weigh the package. Then, the receipient can use USPS, you can print a shipping label and pay for it, and then send the shipping label to the person that has the clothes to send. Just my thought on how it can work.

I'm only 4 days post op, but as soon as I have clothes to give, I'll offer them. I think it's a great idea.

I haven't had my surgery yet but if anyone has any size 20-22 clothing I'd love to have it. I don't want to buy another piece of clothing knowing I'm going to get my sleeve in the next 6 months.

Nicole - I appreciate it but as I don't work, work clothes aren't a necessity for me :001_wub: Thank you though!

Again if anyone needs sizes 26, 24 bottom and 3X tops please let me know before I sell them at my garage sale!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
