Bariatric Surgery clothing exchange in Maryland

Hi everyone! 

I just had GBP on Sept 3rd and I am already dropping! I am on freecycle and craigslist already looking to find smaller clothes but had a wonderful idea if I could get it going. I have kids and have been to clothing swaps for kids clothes where you bring your gentle used clothes sort them by sizes and other parents come through grab what they need and you grab what you need from other donors. I thought this might be a great idea for us Marylanders of bariatric surgery to do as well because buying clothes right now even from thrift stores seems like a waste. If anyone else is interested please message me. Hopefully we can get a group going and get it growing to help out other patients as well.

I was JUST thinking about this and see that you have the same idea.  There are so many Bariatric centers in Maryland, we could arrange swaps in different areas on a monthly basis, or at least every other month.  I would be willing to help organize this.  I live in the Baltimore area.  I am going to share this with people in my hospital's support group and see if there would be interest in participating in such a swap.

Hi Jackie I had a band done at Saint Agnes And working on a sleeve at UUniversity of Maryland both doctors has clothing exchange programs for their patients. Ask your doctor maybe they might have one. It would be great if the SalvztinnArmy orGood Will would start a program like that. I think they would be perfect people because of the volume of clothes they handle
