Has anyone tried to organize a clothes borrowing system for intermediate weight?



Recommended Posts

I was just thinking about all the clothes from all of us that will get donated to Goodwill or some other place, and how others on this forum might get some use out of them - for when we are in the middle of our weight loss journey. Because who wants to go out and buy clothes 2 or 3 sizes smaller than what you own, only to wear them for a few months and have to buy new clothes again, several sizes smaller?

Maybe this is too complicated to set up, but it seems that if we have clothes of a certain size that we are going to get rid of because they are now too big, that we first get on this forum, describe what you have, and offer them here.

Yes, I guess it would cost us the price of postage to mail them to someone, but you might just get someone else lending you clothes too. And we could keep passing them around (assuming they are still usable) to others.

Dumb idea? What does everyone think?

I think it sounds awesome! My scrubs are falling off me now but I don't want to spend money on new ones that I'll have to give away in a couple months.

      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?
