New jackets and/or coats?



Recommended Posts

Is anyone buying new jackets and/or coats this fall? I had to get rid of a couple of jackets, but am trying to get by with a couple of old ones. Coats are expensive and I worry about where I'll be next winter. Meanwhile, I look kind of sloppy. :-(

I'm not even close to goal and I'm swimming in my coats, dress pants and jeans. I kinda look like a hobo in my coat, but I can't imagine buying one only for a few months, so I plan to just suffer through it. The jeans thing, I plan to wear yoga and compression pants until winter is over. The dress pants thing, I'm going to have a few skirts taken in and try to get by.

I'm early yet so I'm still fitting in the ones that were getting too snug. That said when the time comes I will be buying new clothes here and there. I've never been about looking sloppy. In fact one of the thing people often asked me was how I dressed so nice a larger woman. I like looking cute and always will.

I will still fit in mine from last year that was snug. Next year will be new wardrobe time. Luckily I have kept clothes from size 16-22. So I'm ok for the next couple months. Lol but I'm a shopper. So I have no problem getting a new wardrobe every few months ????

I bought a really cute coat at Ross for less than $20.00. I haven't needed a coat in years, but without my extra 100 lbs of "insulation", I am freezing!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
