If you haven't had your gallbladder out that's another thing to think about. I vomited bile and occasionally black blood all the time before I had mine out and the pain wasn't always where gallbladder pain "should" be.... but yah, I'm no doctor... I'm with those who say go to the doc.. personally if it was me and it happened once or twice, I'd ignore it to save money... I TOTALLY understand how it is to be uninsured... but more than a couple times and it's time to seek professional help. Good luck!

Thanks for the review Cinders. I am leaning toward Dr Alvarez, but still researching other doctors. Dr. Ismael Cabrera Garcia seems very appealing to me. He has done enough surgeries to really know what he's doing but is still young and new enough to not be complacent. It's funny because as I've been comparing a lot of the doctors, I'm trying to leave Price out of the mix but I keep thinking that there MUST be something wrong with him if his price is so low... but the more research I do the less this seems to be the case! I've been talking to Christy and she has been fabulous so far. I hope to have my decision made in the next week or so and book surgery for March.

I haven't been sleeved yet, but I've been making hummus deviled eggs for years and YUM! Here's how I do it:
Halve your boiled eggs
Toss the yolk.
Make your hummus but go light on the tahini and nix the EVOO you don't really need it in the hummus and it tastes better ON the hummus!
Add a tiny bit of yellow mustard to hummus.
Put hummus into pastry bag
pipe into the egg halves
garnish with a teeny tiny drizzle of evoo (like a teaspoon total for six halves and make it the REALLY good quality Lebanese evoo), spanish paprika and chopped parsley or cilantro...a sprinkle of some very finely diced tomatoes taste fabulous on these too.
OMG, you'll never go back to regular deviled eggs again!

I'm not sleeved yet, but yes, I've lost my period in the past due to VLCDs and lots of exercise. I had always thought that it was just low bodyfat% that can trigger absence of periods and surely that wasn't a problem for me with my BMI of 50ish!!! When I talked to my doctor about it he said that it was not unusual cease menstruation on a VLCD.
