I had planned on going to mine, but it's tonight (not next week like I thought) and I've got company coming.
I think the clothing exchange is a great thing! It's good to go even if others have had different procedures. There are things you will have in common regardless of which procedure you've had.
I had the sleeve. My weight loss is around 2.5 lbs. per week. I feel I'm losing the weight very slowly, but I have come down from size 18-20 plus to size 12 regular since mid November. I guess it's working! I'm trying very hard not to be too disappointed with the minor fluctuations on the scale. I think the decrease in size is more important to me than a number on the scale.
