Hi all,

I am having wls in June. I would love to start a clothing exchange in the Chicagoland area. I work in A office and would love to find clothes for a lower price or even do some sort of swap. Anyone interested?

  • Maybe we can organize our own exchange this summer? I would totally be up for helping schedule that. I am in Arlington Heights. There are a ton of thrift stores that I would be up for checking out

Well ges ,no one seems interested. Everyone keeps giving me tips of places I can go. Ill let you know if I can find anymore interested people :)

I'm also in Chicagoland. I have 24s, 22s, 20s. Hoping to be out of 18s soon. I have tops ranging from 3X to XL now. I'd be totally interested in an exchange.

Sounds good! I am having surgery in June so that would be perfect.

Right now I'm a size 20. I have tons of summer dresses and such. I am looking for 18s and 16s :)

Mandy -- That is so exciting! I just got my date.....6/2. I am currently in 28's and 26's. I have lots of 24's that I can't wait to get into. I am in Arlington Heights. We are neighbors!

Looks like the problem is that most people have the larger sizes to get rid of and not the smaller sizes that would be needed... :(

I might have some 14W, 16 and 16Ws…unfortunately I have already given away a lot of those, but I can dig through a bag I've set aside for a friend. I definitely have a couple of pairs of shorts I've just put in a pile and I probably have some 14W, 16 and 16W dresses.

I know how you feel. I think I'm going to be doing a lot of thrift store shopping.
