A lot of people have responded on the DS & MB forums for the lady & one person for the guys. I'm hoping to find some more guys. It's funny, I've always realized that the boards are more heavily women than men, but never really realized how much. Try scanning through the names sometime - almost all of the active members are women! Not many of the guys stick around & help "newbies" like us ladies do :)

I gave her a big bag of soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, deoradant, and body lotions to help out over there. they need lots of stuff like that so i went to the dollar store armed with coupons and when i got to the check out they made a joke about the amount of these things i had and when i told them what they were for they took off the coupons and then donated the rest of what i would have paid ....well Amen wasnt that sweet? People and companies can be wonderful and generous...
Well better get busy we are working inside today , it is too cold to work outside ....only 50 degrees ...wow...but i would rather have colder temps than warm and tornadoes.....
Hope to see you all soon....Ask Andy if he has decided about the truck????
love ya...

There's been a call out for "super" plus size clothes that are desperately needed by a small handful of individuals who are pretty much wearing the same clothes they had on Sunday.
In general, there's a HUGE amount of clothes that have been donated, but NOT really large-sized clothing pieces.
This one family is obese AND tall - some of the men are in the 7' tall range. There are 3 men and 1 woman. They need:
MEN:
Shirts: 5XTall
Pants: 54" X 38"
44" x 36"
34" x 38"
Shoes: size 13 AND 16
WOMEN:
Shirts: 4X
Pants: 28 Long if possible
Shoes size 10
There's a local radio "news talk" station that has been taking calls about all manner of things to pair up those who are missing, offer services/ products from businesses, & announce needed services/ items & this was one of them. The announcers stressed 3 times that this family was in dire need of clothing. I'm sure they're not the only one, Missouri, I believe, is in the top 5 US states for rates of obesity.
I got the contact information for the family and am going to gather the donations & either drop them off or one of the family members whom I spoke to just now will pick them up. The family lived in one of the apt buildings that was completely destroyed. They literally have nothing left.
If you can help, please either reply here or send me a PM.
Thanks, peeps!

Good luck to you - you won't regret a decision to change your life and health - well maybe a little for the first few days post-surgery!!

So good to hear from you. Glad you're both OK.
Barbara, I am so sorry about your niece. One of the men I work with lost a 17 year old cousin to suicide a couple of weeks ago. I feel so bad that these kids feel there is nowhere else to go for happiness.
Hugs to all,
Lana

I live in Illinois just across the river from St. Louis. My family physician has suggested I consider bariatric surgery. He gave me some programs and surgeons to consider, De Paul, BJC, and MMC in Springfield, IL. I have BC & BS of IL, they cover De Paul, Des Peres, St. Alexius New Start, and MMC in Springfield, IL. I am looking for any feedback on any or all of these programs and doctors. I have looked at all of the websites and get a 'feeling' for each. But this is such a huge decision I would really appreciate some feedback good or bad from people that have experience with these programs.
Thanks in Advance,
