TNicole85 5 Posted May 13, 2015 After a year of exploring this option, I'm finally scheduled to be sleeved in 2 weeks!! I'm a little nervous about the surgery itself as far as being put to sleep and the hospital stay but I'm more excited than anything to start seeing results . My highest weight was 256. Found out I am diabetic and was placed on some meds. I'm currently down to 249. I start my pre op diet on the 18th and really interested in seeing how much weight I lose that week. I'm an African American woman and curious about hair loss and loose skin as I know this is different for all of us? Also , I'm very interested in maybe finding a buddy who's having surgery the same day?? Thanks :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monieanne 20 Posted June 4, 2015 Hi, I hope everything went well for you. I haven't revised from the band to sleeve yet. However, I have found that if you type in 'African American' you will find some posts regarding hair loss issues for African Americans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
