African American Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hello all. I live in florence SC. Just got sleeved on sept 18th. Everything went well. I should be going home today. The only thing I noticed is that I now have acid reflux again. Is that normal? When will it stop?

It will subside soon just follow all directions period & you will be good!! Happy recovering :-)

It was a question nothing more. I just think there should be any desperation is what I was referring too. I realize long ago they needed to do that just not sure why they feel they still need to now. All the answers where very good ones and no one put anyone down....it's call free speech not ignorant. I appreciate all the respectful responses it was a question simple as that!!

It was a stupid one, get off this board and get a life

Hi i am new and currently trying to get approved. I just wanted to say my cousin had it done and her hair did start to thin. She has relaxed hair but she also has a tumor not cancerous in her head behind her ear. So still not 100% sure, as for me I choose to go all natural so my hair is in a healthier place just in case.

I was also wondering about the Hair loss issue. I have a natural afro and wondered what I could do to keep it from shedding?

Congrats to the ladies who have upcoming surgeries. My experience was not bad at all and so far week 1 has been great. According to my scale have lost 7 pounds since tuesday.

Hi all. I'm scheduled for my sleeve on Super Tuesday... Nov. 6, 2012. Obama won't be the only one celebrating that night. Question for the veterens...How is scarring for AA sleevers?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
