I'm going thru that right now myself...all the stuff i wore before surgery is

not fitting except for anything with elastic waists. My jeans that didn't

fit before surgery fit but I noticed this week they are baggy. It sucks. i

went out last night on a date and I didn't have anything to wear...at least

he's in tune with my situation...LOL

I hate spending money on stuff that isn't going to last

> too long.

too bad several of us dont live close enough together so we can just pass

these clothes on......that would really help.

Kathy, I totally understand, I feel the same way. It's so

frustrating! I hate spending money on stuff that isn't going to last

too long. Everyone else thinks it's so great. I find myself buying

things I don't even like just because it was on sale and fits.

Have you tried cheapie stores like Ross? Or have you

tried ebay?

I haven't had surgery yet. When my clothes got too

tight for me, I'd head off to ebay and buy some

clothes really cheap. Alot of the stuff there still

has original tags too!
