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.

Size medium joggers yay me!!!! But I think they are cut big????????????

I'm a 36 year old African American sleever... And honestly I've experienced some of the same after effects after my sleeve that others have. I think in general the weight loss /after effects depends on the individual..it's alot of factors to consider when comparing the two...I was sleeved August 25,2014... And it has been and continues to be a journey.. Good luck to you

1 day post-op home laying in my bed. Thank goodness, very minor pain and a lot of gas. I have been trying to get in enough walking which has eliminated most of the gas pain. Thanking God for a textbook surgery, could not have asked for anything better.
