Hey guys I saw a thread from 2011 that I wanted to continue. I love all of my vsgers but as we know african american women tend to carry weight differently. I would love to follow you ladies on your journey and for us all to support each other.

I was sleeved on September 5th so I'm a week out. I'm doing good so far and feeling better everyday. I stayed at the hospital 3 days mostly because they discovered my allergy to morphine while I was on the pump with a fever and my entire body on fire. But I'm home now and much better. I was just moved to the full liquids stage so I'm pretty happy considering that the liquids stage made me nauseous. I've lost 24 lbs since my surgery so any pain I have is over shadowed by my joy.

Looking forward to hearing from you ladies and seeing some progress pics!

I'm confused lol why is there a special forum for African Americans?

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.

Wait. You're black?!?

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.

It shouldn't but someone always want to pop in here and remind us that this is post-racial america...

Clearly, you are ignoring me.

@@OutsideMatchInside

LOL, clearly.

It's because I'm Mexican, isn't it?
