Re: To Debbie Penell

July 26, 2006

Hi Debbie, Kellie from OKC here - Just making sure you guys got my fax with

my most recent labs? I'm 2 1/2 years out and feeling great - just wish I

could drop back down to the 170s and get out of the 190's - guess I

" adjusted " with the 10% gain Dr R talks about......been around 193 for

almost 9 months now.....fluctuate between 187 and 193 - I'm certainly not

complaining, and am going to see a plastic surgeon on August 9th regarding

the " panni " I've got. Save for the bat wings, the panni is the only problem

I've encountered with the great weight loss. Would love to get rid of that

excess skin/fat in the 'ol abdomen!

Anyhoo, just wanted to make sure you guys got my labs.

Hi Kellie-- I expect I'll be shopping for a surgeon to take care of my spare

tummy too. Do you mind my asking what you're paying?
