African American Sleevers

January 16, 201115 yr

Popular Post

Hi All!

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.

PS- I TRULY :heart: ALL SLEEVERS.

I had my surgery on April 9th and I'm so happy with the results. I'm down 45 lbs and I feel great!

You look great! I had surgery the same day and I'm down 45lbs as well. I don't know how you feel but I am really discouraged. I know this was a transitional surgery for me and my highest weight was323 now 218ish scale moves up and down but at over three months out I was hoping to see onederland soon.

You are doing great! I could not have lost 45 pounds in three months without this kind of help...could you? Let yourself be happy with your achievement on this journey...discouragement brings old habits. Blessings;-)
