  1. I will do $5 per pair of jeans and $2 per shirt plus shipping. I'm not looking to make huge profit off of this at all, just would like to help someone out while maybe getting enough to cover a new pair for myself (I need to see what all I have for sure and and get you some pics if you want) I am sure shipping won't be more than $12 (U.S.) as I'm an expert at "if it fits, it ships" haha! I am in Framingham MA. Where are you? If you want pics, send me a private message with your email and I will email you what I have tomorrow. Thanks!
  2. New Jersey... Duh lol I am in Massachusetts. Are you willing to ship? I would pay for shipping of course
  3. I could use the 18's... Let me know what ya have and where you are located?
  4. I'm interested in the 16-18 clothes. Casual attire is fine. Let me know if you still have them
  5. I have a few 24's and 22's I will part with for cheap. Let me know if you're still interested
  6. Hey ladies! I have some size 24 and 22 clothes that I am willing to part with on the cheap! Let me know if interested. I have a few pair of jeans and a few shirts and would love for them to go to someone on this journey!

  8. Call your doctor right away. Your incisions should not be draining. Best wishes!
  9. Gas pains are typically in the shoulder area. Chest pain isn't something I experienced. Call the doctors office and let them know... They should have someone available to answer concerns 24/7 365!

  11. Try wearing a strapless bra if the straps bother you.... If its not the straps, what about the bra is irritating you?

  15. For me, I was tired of being the "fat girl"! I had lost and gained with all the fad diets known to man! I would do good for a while then decide I could have "just one" cheese burger and then before I knew it I was binging. It's a vicious cycle and I can relate... food has an emotional connection for a lot of us and a lot of my fear was losing that comfort. It was my very first surgery (Nov 13, 2012) and I'm down 32 lbs! I an eat a "normal" plate of food and not go back for seconds! Best decision ever! I almost backed out while in the pre-op holding room, so glad I didn't back out!
  16. I've done yoga a few times and it is not for sissies, I'll tell ya that! Kudos to you ladies I plan on trying again when I drop a few more lbs, I imagine it wont be quite as difficult for me once I get another 50 lbs off lol
  17. Just curious... I read your doctor didn't place drains and I have read others who did have drains post op. What were the factors that played in this or does he never place drains on any patients? Hopefully he doesn't have to place a drain now... Although I'm sure you want to get the healing process done and over with here's hoping you heal without drains being placed!
  18. Do you feel sick all the time or after you eat? My husband is banded as well and the doc thinks his gallbladder is bad... He has some of the symptoms. Just let the doctor know what's up and he/she should know what needs to be done

  20. Gas could be to blame! It's usually the ugly culprit of most of my aches and pains. I am a faithful gas x user and it keeps troubles away!
