Hi All!

I wanted to start a thread for African-American sleevers (no worries I HEART all sleevers from the rainbow). I just thought' date=' 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 <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/MSN/heart.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':heart:' /> ALL SLEEVERS.
