African American Sleevers

So last night after almost two years post surgery, I finally cleaned out my closet of all the old clothes,post-245068-14775696243811_thumb.jpg post-245068-14775696339888_thumb.jpg post-245068-14775696458758_thumb.jpg post-245068-14775696804817_thumb.jpg post-245068-14775697404397_thumb.jpg I seriously can no longer wear. A friend of mines in need of clothing, as he's going through some hard times, gladly took my old clothes off my hands. Over 15 pairs of pants and at least 20 to 25 shirts ranging from polos to dress shirts. He even got my old business suit.

So before I let those things go, my girlfriend helped me take some goodbye photos of my old closet clothes. For they've found a new home.

I was sleeved on 10/27 in DC. Just got out of the hospital yesterday. Happy to join this group. I want to know if anyone had issues with their incision scars and see there is already a robust discussion on hair loss, which I'm following closely.

Still pre op, but have been following this thread and I'm inspired. Anyone with locs experience (or not) hair loss?

I wondered the exact same thing.... Should I expect to loose my locs?

Im 4 months post op and I don't always hit my Protein goals. I have not experienced any hair loss/thinning. Other than normal shedding. I was taking 5000 units of Biotin twice a day until about the end of September then I stopped taking it. I'll throw it in my purse and start taking it again tonight.

Hello all, I've been lurking and lurking.. Well I want to know. I was all up for RNY until I went to the seminar, I switched to the sleeve and I'm thinking that's the best decision no rerouting of intestines less complications etc. But he never mentioned GERD!! I do not have any acid reflux whatsoever, but I don't want to deal with that it's making me want to back out altogether. But I've never wanted something this bad in my life I'm 26 years old, I want to enjoy the rest of my twenties slimmer I've been fat my whole entire life.. I'm tired! Does every experience gerd with the sleeve? I'm not getting and don't want rny ...

I'll be two years sleeved in about 6 weeks from now. I can say that I never had any issues with acid reflux post surgery or even before surgery. Early on I had issues with puking, but I think that was more due to the fact that I had both a sinus infection and Strep throat post surgery that made those conditions happen. I have heard of some people having experice with gerd from the sleeve but not many.

I just want to say you killing it!! You look awesome! I've been seeing you across the forums..

And thank you for the input, all my energy and research was into the rny until about two weeks ago. I'm just finding out about this acid reflux. I'm definitely not digging that.. But two years post op and complications.. Blessing!!

I meant two years post op and you have no complications . and one more question, would you do it all over again? Was it worth it? Beside the of course weight loss and looking and feeling better, the emotional and psychological part about it, and of course side effects of the surgery??

I'm 10 months post op and haven't had any issues with acid reflux or GERD. I had issues preop, but they repaired a hiatal hernia during surgery and I haven't had an issue since.

Has anyone not experienced hair loss? And if so did you do anything special? If it matters I'm natural. Thanks.

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm 10 months out and haven't had any Hair loss. I feel like it's a little thinner, but not noticeably so. I'm also natural (but I color my hair). I do wear my hair in a silk press a lot , so I held out in that for a couple of months immediately post op just because I didn't want to put any added stress on my hair. A lot of folks swear by Biotin but I already struggle with facial hair due to PCOS and didn't want to risk making it worse when it's finally getting better!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
