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.

Thx

Congrats you look great.

Hey y'all!

Hello,

I love all my rainbow sleeves, but we know different races experience different issues. I was sleeve October 1. Started at the highest 260, surgery day 250 and currently 222. I did not have Major issues. Normal but my 2 month anniversary is December 1. The only thing I notice so far,hiccups when I'm full. My skin is looking great, hair cannot tell u cause I keep it braided and sewin(lol) I don't do beef or pork, chicken and turkey has been my friend. I stay on my period longer cuz I suffer from fibros. I will keep u guys updates.

So happy to have stumbled upon this thread. I was originally scheduled to get the lap band & recently had a change of heart after reading some posts from others that had to have the revision. I am so excited to be getting sleeved on Dec. 17th. You all have done such a great job with your weight loss and I cannot wait to be a sleever & start reaching my own milestones.
