Hey Bandsters! (Hey VQ!)

I know that many of you are currently melting away and rocking your Band, and so, you've shunk out of many of your clothes.

Cushies on the other hand... we go the other way.

There is a young lady on my Cushing's board that is in desperate need of some new clothes.

I'm looking for some very nice casual/formal clothes. (I'm planning on getting rid of practically ALL of my clothes...i've had many of my current clothes since I was 14 - I'm 20 now.)

My size is (or I thought) was a 16 W, but at fashionbug it's WAY too big. But a regular size 16 works, and I'm a petite. My favorite colors are maroon red, white, black, orange, light blues, and purples. I prefer black slacks. Anyways I'd be happy with anything aslong as it's decent and fits okay.

This young lady has had a really hard go of it, especially since she too was raised by wolves.

Let me know if you can help her out

Cheers

I would help if I could. I'm not down to a 16 myself, still in the 18/20/22 range. I wish her the best and God bless you for trying to help. You are a good person. :biggrin1:

hi,vinesqueen! i havent been a 16 for at least 15 years so i'm jealous. but...my program has a post-op support group that encourages people to bring in their clothes as they "ungrow" them. could you talk to someone at your clinic to see if they do something like that. good luck!

I just cleared out clothes a few weeks ago; but I will look again when I am home over the weekend and see if I can find some things still around. I am 5'7" so not petite but maybe I can find some things and if so I would be happy to ship them to you.

Hey Vinesqueen, you might have her check on e-bay as well. I get all of my clothes on e-bay and have always had lots of luck getting cheap clothes there. Size 16 short or petite is actual a pretty common size on there as well. I wish her the best, I hope that helps.

      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!
