RE: Orientation today

[Guest guest]

Hi heidi, congratulations on being so close to goal! I have been kind of a

slow starter, but I'm really into it now and think I will have all my

weight off, even with the holidays, by the first of the year. I have not

met Doctor Dennon, though my husband has, but I have met Doctor Dutta and

am very favorably impressed with him.

On the day of my initial consult, told me to call and update them on

how I am doing with my weight, but I can never get through to them. I

always get their machine saying that the mailbox isn't accepting anymore

messages because it's full. Is the number you have 510 248

3335? LaWanda At 05:35 PM 11/20/04, you wrote:

well as Fridays. answers the phone a lot on

Fridays from what I hear.

Thanks, I'll try that. I am not usually up early in the mornings, unless

it is like it is now, very early in the morning because I have been up all

night, but I will make a special effort one day. LaWanda At 11:23 PM
