I have a good amount of clothing ranging in sizes 30/32 & 26/28. I would be happy to sell or swap clothing with those in need. All my clothes are well cared for or dry cleaned.

Maybe everyone doesn't want to list what exact town you live in for privacy reasons. I was just trying to get a general idea on where would be the best place to have an exchange.You don't have to list your exact city, but a nearby town within say 10 miles would be helpful. Chicago and the suburbs are huge. I am from the South West suburbs, way west.

Plainfield, Joliet, Bolingbrook, Romeoville area.

I am currently an size 10/12, Large/XL tops, size 8/8.5 shoes, 36DD.

I got sick and got down to 99 pounds. I am better and staying steady. I have clothes available Size 4 and up. My feet are smaller too. I have shoes from size 8/8.5/9/9.5. I have given away a lot but still have some left.

Hi fellow Chicago Suburbanites! I am in the far southwest suburbs but I had my RNY done by surgeon Bipan Chand at Loyola University Medical Center inMaywood on 12/17/14. Before surgery, I found a support group at Silver Cross hospital in New Lennox, IL. I attended only one group so far but plan on going to the monthly group from now on. It is a monthly group held the third Wednesday of the month at 6pm. There were a lot of people there the time I went 75-100 people. I probably don't have much to contribute to a clothing exchange. I refrained from buying myself clothes, especially anything new, at my high weight. It was such a downer cuz nothing looked good on me. I plan on buying clothes from resale shops (I.e. Goodwill) as I lose weight as what's the point of investing in it when I won't need them for long? Right now I'm progressing my diet from full pureed to soft foods. I'm feeling a little down this morning as I'm missing not being able to eat things I used to enjoy. I know it will get better once I start the regular diet in a couple weeks and be able to have more variety instead of the same things day after day. It will all be worth it.
