Jessee3897 reacted to 4EverChang'nSpy in African American vsgers!
Hello my Fellow Afro American Sleevers!!
I sleep, eat, and drink having this sleeve done!!!! Omg!! Well I've gone thru all the necc steps and have approval, my Surgery date is 10/10 and I start my 2wk pre op 09/26/14...im excited and freaking out at the same time, but all in all im ready for this change. My current fear is skin sagging and butt deflating. I have a large body frame so me being my current weight im still in a size 18 so I just hope and pray that ill just deflate the excess and keep my curvy figure LOL!!
I do wish you all the best on your journey to a better you!!

Hey guys I saw a thread from 2011 that I wanted to continue. I love all of my vsgers but as we know african american women tend to carry weight differently. I would love to follow you ladies on your journey and for us all to support each other.
I was sleeved on September 5th so I'm a week out. I'm doing good so far and feeling better everyday. I stayed at the hospital 3 days mostly because they discovered my allergy to morphine while I was on the pump with a fever and my entire body on fire. But I'm home now and much better. I was just moved to the full liquids stage so I'm pretty happy considering that the liquids stage made me nauseous. I've lost 24 lbs since my surgery so any pain I have is over shadowed by my joy.
Looking forward to hearing from you ladies and seeing some progress pics!

@@Shellbell619, I am so sorry that this ignorant nurse had to rain on your parade! You handled the situation a lot better because I would have told her "if diet and exercise were so easy, then why are you still overweight?" I don't get the surgery until December, but I feel sorry for anyone that has anything rude to say to me because I have a smart mouth and I will respond accordingly....lol
