12 & 14 clothes needed and deserving



Recommended Posts

It's really hard to believe that just 1 year ago i was 319lbs & down from 355 & 2 weeks post op.

It's an interesting feeling not having spring/summer clothes to pull out and try on to see what still fits you or what you cant wear cause of those winter lbs you gained.

I've gifted most of those clothes to fellow patients as needed. Some have been gifted back and gifted twice.

I have to go shopping for my spring/summer clothes this year which I can't really afford so I am asking that anyone with sizes 12/14 please see what yah got that you can gift to me.

I volunteer and speak at Franklin Square Hospital Center at the Bariatric Institute's Information Sessions telling my story and doing a question and answer session and like to dress up for those it gives more of an effect. When people see you and the thought that you might have had weight loss surgery doesn't even cross their mind and then to see your before and look at you standing their all decked out. It's inspiring so I love to do that. So any dresses spring/summer/cocktail/formal/ evening even or whatever will be most appriceated too. I am working on becomming a self help coach and motivational speaker full time and persuing that full force right now. I have also started Weight Loss Surgery Patients Against Childhood Obesity programs offered to all students 4-24 to avoid or overcome childhood obesity. I promise it would not be going to someone undeserving. I am very passionate and try to do everything I can to help others. Please contact me if you have some clothes to gift. Thanks so much, Laura

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
