African American Sleevers

  • 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.

    The best decision of my life was to have the sleeve! I'm now a little over six months and with the help of my sleeve and trainer.... I can now truly see my results. I'm so thankful!

    I was sleeved on Monday November 3rd 2014. I will have my first weigh-in on the 7th so I can join this holiday challenge. Recovery is going well. The gas is almost gone and the pain is very manageable.
