female only Clothing Swap?

[kittenkate 186]

I am about 7 weeks post-op and have thus far had to buy new work pants once. I can tell that I will soon be too small for these pants as well. Don't get me wrong, this is a GREAT thing. But MAN, work clothes are expensive! People always told me that I needed to save up for the clothing I am going to have to buy but, of course, I didn't listen. My surgeon was telling me that he had heard of a program that did sort of a clothing swap for people who have had WLS.

Has anyone ever heard of this or know of any kind of program that does this? I think it's a great idea!

Yes, I have the hospital that I had my surgery done at has a program that does this. However, I'm in California..

I just wanted to mention checking consignment stores for work clothes. Some stores are better than others. Try googling stores in your area for reviews. There is a place here where people swap clothes too. I agree with you, it is a great idea!

I have several pair of Not Your Daughter's Jeans from Nordstrom in 14P and 16P that are like new that i will be listing on ebay that retailed for 75-108.00 each. I will sell for a good price. They are too nice not to try to sell. Send me a private message if you are interested in the details.

I swear by Goodwill. I think I've re-bought my wardrobe about 6 times & I could have never afforded it without Goodwill. You will probably be dropping to a new size ever 4-6 weeks, so I don't think investing in new, high quality clothes would make much sense until you are around your goal weight.
