congrats...... keep us posted on how you are doing....

who's doing yours and where?

I can only imagine how difficult weight loss is in the Big Easy. My cousin lives near New Orleans and in Belle River, my hubs grew up in Denium Springs and still has family there as well in Deridder. Every time we come down the food is amazing, I can never get enough.

I know I will have to be really careful when we head back down next year!! Love Lousiana.

congrats...... keep us posted on how you are doing....

Dr. Bellanger performed the surgery in Gonzales this morning.

yes maa'm. that must have been you in the other section. I think u were wearing pink? or white? I cant remember. The nurse did mention you were in an online group when I was telling her about this one. Funny we were right there together! I was gonna ask but it seemed rude & you looked a little nervous right before you went in. Yours went well too I see. :))
