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.

I am over 2 months and I still get that feeling sometimes. I have to make myself focus on eating slow.. Sometimes I eat while on the computer on FB or Pinterest just to make sure I am taking time between bites....

Thats a good idea I always wait til things slow down, but maybe if I tried eating when i feed my kids might just eat slower it's a thought.
