Donating clothes that no longer fit and I want to give it away



Recommended Posts

I'm just about 3 months out and I've gone down from size 26/28 to 20/22. I've decided that it's time to get rid of some of my clothing, but I'm not sure I want to take it to the Goodwill. I've been there in an attempt to find transition wear and I haven't really had much luck, so donating it would be helpful to anyone like me, who needs transition clothes after surgery. But I also hate for someone to have to pay for clothing that I'm no longer using so.....

If anyone lives in the Inland Empire and needs clothing in sizes 24-28, it's yours. I've already donated some, but I have, you can have for free. Contact me and we can set something up.

I always make a point of donating my clothes to goodwill since they rarely have larger sizes, but the majority of women are larger sized. I feel it is important to donate clothes so that people who are financially challenged have access to them.

Post it in the Clothing and Goods Exchange forum. I found someone locally and gave her a ton of clothes that were too big for me. Someone will appreciate it!

How can I find that forum? I looked for it with no luck. Could it be because I u a e my phone not a computer?

At the top of the page, go to Forums, General Weight Loss Surgery Forums, Clothing and Goods Exchange. I am not sure if you can see the tabs at the top from phone or not. I use my computer! Hope this helps!

I am donating my clothes to a non profit company in Orange County called Human Options. I have given my kids clothes to them as well. They are an agency devoted to helping domestic violence victims.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
