Recommended Posts

I am running out of "clothes I saved for when I am skinnny" lol So was wondering if anyone in NYC knew of second hand stores that carry a good selection. TIA

Hi @Nyelaah. Just so happens that a Goodwill opened up on 14th St. today I believe. If you know the Union Square area, it's just West of there. There is also a Goodwill store on 8th St. but this new one is alot bigger. I gave most of my larger sized clothes to them and know that they have a pretty good selection. I see NYU students in there all the time going through the selections. You may want to check it out.

I also frequent eBay for good deals. It's amazing what you can find sometimes with tags still on!

Oh, and I'm not in NYC... So no ideas on thrift shops.

I'm in Chicago and we have many resale shops ...maybe Google resale shops??

You should visit Chicago some day! We have fabulous museums, theaters, opera, symphony, the lake front is its own thing entirely.

If festivals are your thing we have countless festivals it seems year round.

One thing I love is how clean it is for a big city.

      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?
