I wanted to start a thread for African-American sleevers (no worries I HEART all sleevers from the rainbow). I just thought, no scientific proof, that African-American sleevers may respond to the surgery different than our lovely non-African American sleeved sisters and brothers. I wanted to know if we had the same skin issue, hair problems, and other surgery related issues. Also, how to deal with the culture shock. African-American "soul food" may be something of the past... or not. So I was just looking for a space to voice culture related issues and concens.
Good luck! Absolutely will be a great tool to help keep the weight off. I had my sleeve on 8-1 so im a bit sore but excited to start this chapter. Everyday it get Better! Prayers for you! You got this!
