Pay it forward clothing exchange



Recommended Posts

Hi! I did something like this on my own for other bandsters who I know through my blog. I have a lot of nice clothes (and plenty of gently worn Gap/Old Navy clothing), so I put together some care packages of items that I thought would look good on different people, based on the photos I had seen of them.

It's been a lot of fun to do this, and my only condition on sending the care packages is that the bandsters who receive them have to send the clothing to someone else when they are done (or if they don't like a particular item).

I definitely recommend doing this! I may be foregoing the tax writeoff for those items, but it feels so great to help someone else who is going through this same process.

Best,

Catherine

Thank you everybody for the ideas. Keep it coming and with any luck we can get this figured out. I have many ideas swirling around in my head.

I guess we will need to contact whoever is in charge of this site for permission. If you all are anxious to move ahead on this feel free.

I would love to participate! When I checked out the forum on here for it, it wasnt active. While my clothes arent the best, I do have formal gowns from the Navy Ball that need a good home... Along with strapless bras, which can be a real expensive pain in the a** to find in a 48DDD

I have a few pairs of 22/24 pants and tops (probably more tops). Because I wear my bras until they fall apart, I don't have any of those to offer.

I have a ton of clothes that I've been holding onto that I no longer need. There is also an online exchange

You could start something similar on here.

      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?
