Default Clothes

Does anyone have any clothes they could sell me? I have absolutely nothing that fits me anymore and summer is almost here. I thought I could get away with wearing my sundresses with the ties in the back but I tried them on today and the shoulders and busts are all too big. I think I am in about an 18 now but I am not sure. All my clothes are 24's-28's. I have a shirt on now that someone gave me that is an 18-20. The garage sales haven't started yet and I am in desperate need. Can anyone help me out?

Does your local support group have a clothing exchange? Lots of folks that have had surgery gladly give them to a fellow stapler.

Unfortunatly, we don't have a support group. The hospital offers monthly meetings but they have specific topics like plastic surgery or nutrician. There are never the same people in them. I have searched online for clothing exchanges and found nothing.

Hi Michelle,

What about your local thrift shop...I know a lot of people who buy there until they reach goal.

Michelle, we are actually now at the same weight and in the same size clothes so all of mine are too big for you, too! I wish I could help.

Michelle,

Sorry I can't help because I am still in the 26's... just wondering, are you interested in getting rid of any of those items?

Thanks and good luck, would help if I could!

Michelle - how tall are you? I have quite a bit of stuff I wanted to sell, but I would be willing to give to you if you paid shipping. I just can't let this stuff go to goodwill, too nice. But then I have a thang about my clothes. !!

Lisa,
I am 5'4"-5'5" depending on who is measuring me but the length of pants I can always adjust. I would be most willing to pay shipping.
