For those in the NYC area, I just received an email from NYU Bariatric Group. There will be a clothing exchange on September 7th. I've cut and pasted the info below. I'm bringing a bunch of things that no longer fit me and were very gently worn including my winter coat from last year. I hope everything gets taken. I also hope that others on this site stop by to drop off or pick up new things.

Join us in midtown Manhattan

Sunday * September 7, 2014 * 11 a.m.–2 p.m.

• Everything must be clean, intact and ready for wearing.
• Intimates (e.g., workout clothes, underwear, swimwear, sleepwear, socks, hosiery) must be new/unused/unworn.
• Accessories are great (belts, jewelry, scarves, neckties, purses, shoes, etc.).
• Dressing rooms are available.

If you need nothing now, feel free to stop by with items you're no longer using and stay for the conversation.

Bottomless Closet, our host, helps disadvantaged NYC women enter and succeed in the workforce and improve the quality of their lives. All items not adopted during our event are donated to BC. Documents will be available for tax purposes.

Contact bandsterswap@yahoo.com if you have any questions about the exchange. If you'd like to help set up, please come at 10:00. If you're able to stay a little past 2:00 to straighten up, please do.

I'm sure I could call hospitals etc. but I am looking for a new support group iany tips on New York City support groups where times etc. if anyone has the time to inform me. I would love to hear about it also attend.

THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS, GoWalking!! I missed the last Bottomless Closet and was pretty upset about it. Their emails must be going into my spam folder because I did not see that email. (Let me go check)
