Clothing/Book Exchange Event Synopsis The clothing exchange is a bi-annual event held in May and November for women of all ages and sizes. Comprised mainly out of the plus-sized and weight loss surgery (WLS) communities, the clothing exchange enables larger women to meet and trade/donate items, thereby helping to offset the need to purchase new clothing, especially for those whom have had WLS and are losing weight rapidly. As plus-size clothing tends to be more expensive, this twice yearly event gives larger women the opportunity to: a) Recycle clothing that is no longer required or desired, b) Obtain newer items to update current wardrobe, without the pressure of salespeople, c) Provide a charitable service to the community by donating unclaimed items at the end of the event, d) Meet like-minded women and engage in companionship without distractions from regular day to day life. The Fall 2011 event was the first to incorporate book exchanging as well. Previously a separate event, it was determined that the same communities could meet to exchange books and literature at the same time. While the event is listed as an ?exchange?, in actually, there is no onus on anyone to bring clothing or books to ?trade?. Unlike a true exchange where an item is swapped for another like item, this event focuses more on the 3 R's of a green planet philosophy. This event has always been free to participants. Water and coffee, if available, is provided and sometimes light refreshments. Participants are welcome to bring healthy snacks to share if they wish, but again, there is no onus on anyone. This event is alcohol and drug-free. Women are asked to leave children, pets and husbands at home (with the exception of helping drop off or pick up bags) to enable privacy for the women who wish to try on clothing. Women are also asked to only bring CLEAN ITEMS IN GOOD REPAIR. Past events have proven to be well attended with the average number being around 20 women. This event was held annually but has since grown to bi-annually due to demand. Past donations have ranged from 3 to 32 large bags of clothing at the completion of event.

Hello,
it's been a long time since I have been in the forum 17 years to be exact but, I was wondering does anyone remember or have a link to the Out- of - Country OHIP forms I was looking into having a revision done, I don't remember what they are under, I found one form but, it says for refund which isn't the right form.
Thank you for any help you can provide me with,
Dannette
Greetings,
I had the gastric sleeve a year ago and now I am looking to have a panniculectomy, which my doctor also recommends for health reasons - so OHIP should cover it.
However the surgeon that he referred me to - isn't seeing new patients right now, so I thought I would ask if anyone here can recommend a surgeon who did their panniculectomy.
I would greatly appreciate your help here.
Thank you.

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this pain post-surgery. Even though it's been a while since your post, it's not uncommon to have different aches as your body adjusts and heals. It could be something minor, like the way you've been moving or resting differently to avoid discomfort at the surgery site. However, it's essential to consider the possibility of blood clots, which can be a risk after any surgery. I hope you've already checked in with your doctor about this, but if not, it's a good idea to do so just to be safe. If you are looking for one, check this website: https://www.rosedalewellness.com/. I have had several therapeutic sessions there after my leg injury, and they were able to help me. Keeping up with gentle movements to help circulation and following your doctor's advice is critical. I hope everything turned out okay and you're feeling better now!
read this FREE EBOOK about carb cycling and it helped me lose weight.
I have been dealing with the same problem, and chirotherautic messages helped me over come the pain
Thank you to all the ladies that came out, donated items and to the cost of the room, those that brought snacks and stayed and helped out afterwards with bagging up the leftovers! Congrats to our lucky 50/50 raffle winner!!!
SAVE THE DATE! NOVEMBER 12TH, 2024 IS THE NEXT EXCHANGE!

"Life is a book" - already saw this quote and it totally vibes with me. Each chapter's a new adventure, right? Speaking of books, when essays get too much, I hit up Writemypapers.org writing service. Their writers save my grades, turning stress into academic success. Just like a good book, life's chapters keep getting better.
