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.

Band to sleeve losses tend to be a bit slower, but still VERY effective! Keep the faith!!!

Is that true? I pray that isn't the case for me. I have to do well with this. It's my second time around and thus weight has got to go NOW!

I know I'm already 5 lbs from my lowest weight ever with the band I'm staying positive...

Keep up the good work!

I ate too many slider foods didn't get full and kept eating and what do you know. I'm feeling miserable. I feel hungry all the time. I really need to get it together smh.
