If I have any advice for new sleevers it is take your measurements before surgery!
I am 6 weeks out this week and have lost 23 inches and 40 lbs! I haven't taken my measurements since the week of my stall and have lost 2 inches off my waist during that period! I love my sleeve!
It's a great thing to look forward to when the scale isn't moving! Also, try on old clothes often. I had a bunch of clothes new with tags that I gave away because I waited too long to try them on.
