  1. Hi Julie! So sorry to hear you are having a hard time. Do you feel if you take care of the relationship/money issue that the emotional eating will stop? Money issues are the number one reason couples divorce/breakup/separate ect. I am wondering if working on the relationship stuff will stop the emotional eating because the stress will be eliminated.
  2. So I am with my family at our favorite Mexican restaurant. I always now get 1 shredded chicken soft taco with grilled onions, peppers, and tomatoes..sans the cheese and lettuce. Only eat 1/4 of the tortilla and all of the meat and vegetables..way less than I used too and way more healthier..anyway..I digress... One of the gentlemen we see there often came over and said "Hola Skinny..I need to go do what you did..and rubs his belly". I turned around looking to see who he was talking to and he said " Yes ..I am talking to you!!" OMGoodness...skinny used in the same sentence as me? Shut up...don't get me wrong..I am nowhere near my goal..I have a lot more to go..but wow..it's working. I love my sleeve!
  3. Wow! I hope I look half a good as you do!
  4. Yes mine was very, very heavy. PCOS and severe endometriosis. I can't tell you if it got better..I had a hysterectomy, but more than likely with these specific diagnoses..sometimes the PCOS gets better, but the endometriosis doesn't..I hope it works for you! I love not having a period anymore! But I was bleeding for months literally 72 days was the longest I went. My husband said I must be evil because I bled longer than 10 days and didn't die!!! Little does he know...cackles evilly...j/k
  5. I hope so because I HAD a head full of thick hair..now..it's coming out in fist fulls! I'm on 7,500 mg of biotin..not eat junk..following the prescribed diet so maybe once all of the metabolic changes slow...it will be better..I hope...oh well..it's worth it even if I go bald..they have wigs and weave for that!
  6. Wow..gross unprofessionality!!!! Sorry to hear you had a horrible time. No one deserves to be harassed.
  7. I am planning to go back for more laser treatment I do have less hair on my chin..but I only had two treatments, and was told I would need ten. It was expensive but I found a place that will do 5 treatments for 250 which I think is a bargain. My other place that did it charged 250 per session. This sounds much better to me! I have to warn you though..I had blisters after my initial treatment and my chin looked like Jay Leno's for 3 days from the swelling..probably why I went back only two times. For now, I use a coarse hair wax on my eyebrows, lip, & chin to remain hair free until I can get with the office to set up more laser treatments.

  12. Congratulations!!! That's wonderful!
  13. Wow..beautiful! I need help with my makeup..never really learn the art of doing it!
  14. Now that makes sense! Well realize that people who aren't educated on the procedure don't realize you took the hard way out...some people would rather live with their ignorant bliss than became educated about something they don't understand..
  15. I would like to add one from my dear, beloved, departed granny: "Shyt or get off the pot"! Gotta love the older peeps..always giving little golden nuggets of wisdom! LoL

    I cried the first entire week post op. I then got better. It will get better..if not I encourage you ..seek professional help from someone who deals with bariatric patients. Hang in there!!!
  21. LOL! Yeah..you caught me with my hand in the cookie jar! But at least the hubby is the only one who reaps the benefits!!!
