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.

dont worry its natural to stall it gives your body time to adjust to what is going on. I think to get out of it try doing something different with your calorie intake and or exercise, to trick your body into losing again. Good luck

Thank u so much!

Thank u so much!

Question: I got my time of the month 4 days after surgery. It wasn't due for at least 2 weeks. Is that normal? Has anyone else experienced that?

While I no longer get a period myself, I know someone who hadn't gotten one for a long time and then all of a sudden after surgery they started again and were irregular. They were told that it's from the change in your hormones and your body due to the surgery. Eventually your body will find its balance again.
