African American Sleevers

[neek41 34]

Hello all. I live in florence SC. Just got sleeved on sept 18th. Everything went well. I should be going home today. The only thing I noticed is that I now have acid reflux again. Is that normal? When will it stop?

It will subside soon just follow all directions period & you will be good!! Happy recovering :-)

It was a question nothing more. I just think there should be any desperation is what I was referring too. I realize long ago they needed to do that just not sure why they feel they still need to now. All the answers where very good ones and no one put anyone down....it's call free speech not ignorant. I appreciate all the respectful responses it was a question simple as that!!

It was a stupid one, get off this board and get a life

Hi i am new and currently trying to get approved. I just wanted to say my cousin had it done and her hair did start to thin. She has relaxed hair but she also has a tumor not cancerous in her head behind her ear. So still not 100% sure, as for me I choose to go all natural so my hair is in a healthier place just in case.

Glad to find this forum for AA sleevers. I heart everyone too but delighted to find another support system. I'm getting sleeved this upcoming Thur Sep 27 and am so excited about what lies ahead for me!

I was also wondering about the Hair loss issue. I have a natural afro and wondered what I could do to keep it from shedding?

Congrats to the ladies who have upcoming surgeries. My experience was not bad at all and so far week 1 has been great. According to my scale have lost 7 pounds since tuesday.

I'm 3 days out, my surgery went well but I'm still not hungry. I bit a popsicle and was so full. But I'm glad I found this post ....

Is there anyone from Chicago in here? It would be great to have a hometown support group...

Hi all. I'm scheduled for my sleeve on Super Tuesday... Nov. 6, 2012. Obama won't be the only one celebrating that night. Question for the veterens...How is scarring for AA sleevers?
