Tricia K.

Thanks for the kind message. Best of luck to you!

Cool! I'm glad to see you here. I'm 3 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight so, for the most part, yeah.

Thanks for the kind words about Little Lenny! Gavin is so handsome!

Hiya! I haven't been on this site in such a long time. How are you?

Hey girl! I havne't been on this site for soooo long. I decided to check it out today and here you are!!

I am so sorry for just now getting back to you. I haven't been on this site for a very long time and didn't know I had messages.

Dr. Lavin in Covington did my surgery in September of 2005. His practice is called Surgical Specialists of Louisiana and his web site is www.whyweight.com.

Good luck!

Oh, and I haven't had any skin removed...yet! I hope to once I've had my 2nd child. I have an 8-month-old post-lap band baby right now but I want one more!

I am so sorry for just now getting back to you. I haven't been on this site for a very long time and didn't know I had messages.

To answer your question, it took 1 1/2 years to get to 165. The last 20 or so pounds is the hardest but well worth the effort. Thanks so much for your kind words!
