You asked what I was thinking? I'm both black and white. I don't identify with any one race.

Has anyone had their sleeve right after having a baby? Regrets? Was it hard to hold and breast feed after surgery?

Personally I searched for this group thread because I wanted to know about hair loss and scarring among blacks who have had weight loss surgery. There is nothing racist, bigoted or malicious going on here. Anyone of any race is welcomed to reply.

Every few months someone comes in here complaining. Read before you whine.

Completely ignoring there are entire sub forums for Christians and all kinds of other groups.

If you don't like this thread stay out. No one is asking you to post here.

Because people never pop in the other forums asking why they have forums but some special snowflake with no critical thinking skills or tact always pops up in here asking the same dumb question.

What's even funnier? This isn't a special forum. It's a THREAD someone started.

There are forums for PCOS, religious, LBGTQ, bikers, etc., though if one would like to go harass them!

Lol right. I don't understand why his thread would cause issues.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
