NCgal1999 got a reaction from Emileana in Period making me nauseous
Yesssss. I could cry reading someone else is going through this with the wacky hormones. It is horrible. It got so bad I had to get prescription meds. I pray to God once things kind of regulate it goes away. I am a month post op today. Hang in there I am with you!!

NCgal1999 got a reaction from Alex Brecher in Another Patient Death at A Lighter Me (ALM) with Dr. Jose Luis Curiel Marchena
I can absolutely confirm Alex Brecher was in Tijuana the week in question. I had my surgery at Oasis of Hope hospital on 4/17/17 and the day I got there he was at the hospital talking and taking photos with the doctors. While I was checking in he went out of his way to introduce himself, which I thought was really nice.

NCgal1999 got a reaction from PAstudent in Binge eating and finding a therapist
I second the Geneen Roth books. They are an easy read and they were honestly just as helpful as any therapist I ever saw. She just gets it. My copies are full of highlights and I go back to them all the time.

NCgal1999 reacted to PB42 in size of sleeve / portion stomach removed matter?
I have not told anyone I had surgery. I just say, "I am on a Dr.'s mandated diet. I have to eat less and I have to avoid carbs due to blood sugar issues". Anything further is no one's business but my own. I go out to eat all the time and it was a little weird at first, but people will accept what you tell them. I am 6 months out and 60 lbs. down and thank the stars every day that I did this. One ritz cracker instead of the whole sleeve is a joy only a compulsive eater can understand. Keep researching and soul-searching. You will figure out what is best for you.
