NYC clothing exchange



Recommended Posts

For those in the NYC area, I just received an email from NYU Bariatric Group. There will be a clothing exchange on September 7th. I've cut and pasted the info below. I'm bringing a bunch of things that no longer fit me and were very gently worn including my winter coat from last year. I hope everything gets taken. I also hope that others on this site stop by to drop off or pick up new things.

Join us in midtown Manhattan

Sunday * September 7, 2014 * 11 a.m.–2 p.m.

Where: BOTTOMLESS CLOSET

[in the Hotel Pennsylvania opposite Penn Station & Madison Square Garden]

401 Seventh Avenue, Level B, Suite 40 (bet. West 32nd and West 33rd Streets)

*** Take Elevator #1 to Level B; follow signs ***

  • Everything must be clean, intact and ready for wearing.
  • Intimates (e.g., workout clothes, underwear, swimwear, sleepwear, socks, hosiery) must be new/unused/unworn.
  • Accessories are great (belts, jewelry, scarves, neckties, purses, shoes, etc.).
  • Dressing rooms are available.

If you need nothing now, feel free to stop by with items you're no longer using and stay for the conversation.

Bottomless Closet, our host, helps disadvantaged NYC women enter and succeed in the workforce and improve the quality of their lives. All items not adopted during our event are donated to BC. Documents will be available for tax purposes.

Contact bandsterswap@yahoo.com if you have any questions about the exchange. If you'd like to help set up, please come at 10:00. If you're able to stay a little past 2:00 to straighten up, please do.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS, GoWalking!! I missed the last Bottomless Closet and was pretty upset about it. Their emails must be going into my spam folder because I did not see that email. (Let me go check)

      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!
