So I was thinking of making a WLS Clothing Exchange. I know I was told not to buy any new cloths because I will be losing weight, and I personally would only donate the old ones. So why not pass them to a WLS buddy ;) So what do you guys think about that ???

Go to "Forums" tab, top left. Go to "General Discussion" (or something very close to that) and scroll down the drop-down list to "Clothing Exchange." Some people exchange and sell their no-longer-wanted things. I don't get it, as I wouldn't be willing to pack and send off things, etc. To each her own.

While scrolling the "Clothing Exchange" forum, you'll see a couple of posts about the free, semi-annual exchanges I organize in midtown. The next will be in March or April and will be posted. If you're in the city during the week, you'd certainly be welcomed to take part. Then, again, you might be in the southern part of Joizey. (That last part is really for RAymia, but applies to any of you in the NYC vicinity.)

As to not buying clothes, nonsense. You don't have to buy a complete wardrobe every couple of months, but certainly treat yourself like a worthy person if you see something you really like or if you need something.

Last but not least, absolutely donate your usable clothes if no other opportunities are available to you. Casual things are great for homeless services groups, business clothes are great for organizations similar to Bottomless Closet. Plenty of other non-profits are out there.

Thanks for the information I wouldn't want to sale my cloths and I work for the State so of course I'll by some new items. But the exchange just sound like a nice thing to do and I don't need anything in exchange... But I'll check the site out.

      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?
