African American vsgers!

Hi Ladies,

I have moved states and I have an appointment tonight for the initial group consultation. I have a few questions: 1) Has anyone been sleeved in RI? 2) I have been told that excess skin is not a problem for African Americans. Is that true in your case?

I was sleeved in KS. No excess skin, but I really think it depends on how much weight you have to lose and how fast you lose it-not necessarily race. I was sleeved 4/1/15 have lost 45 lbs since surgery (am 5 lbs. from goal now). That's an average of about 2.5 lbs. /week. Good luck!

Hey everyone! I'm 3 weeks out I was sleeved July 13th. I have a YouTube Channel called reignoverfate where I talk about anything and everything including my experience with weight loss journey. I was down 27lbs on my 2 week visit I have my month visit this Thursday. Good luck to everyone who is completing this journey and congrats to those who are already sleeved or RNY or banded

Yeah!! Congrats to the new comers and way to go to all who have started the journey. Sleeved on July 21st--23 lbs down, but at a stall--hope it moves on next week! I'm okay with it tho, because I'm more excited about my break up with food:). I'm mentally ready to see food as substance to live, and not something to over indulge in. Best wishes!
