Christmas Party Picture - As requested

Thank you to everyone *****sponded to my post yesterday about the Christmas Party. I, of course, just acted as if I own the world. One person did mention my surgery but had the backhanded compliment of, "You're so skinny! You need to gain weight!" *sigh* So, for your pain or pleasure, as highly requested, photos of us prior to the event have been added to my profile. Later, as I'm not crazy about the photos myself, I will likely only keep one or two up. I put them at the top for your convenience. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/members/profile.php?N=N1099173343 Best to you and yours, ~Vanessa~

I've gotten the call from Hollywood, Meryl Steep's people are LIVID! She can never, ever wear that outfit again because no starlet can compare to your beauty and grace. Happy Holidays and thanks for the picture. Onward! Frances PS: Also missing you

Frances!!! I laughed out loud! You are too kind! I sent your response to my husband and he got a good laugh out of it too! You are such an impressive personality and a joy! I really enjoyed talking with you on the phone!!! Call again sometime! Thank you! ~V~

Vanessa, The pics are beautiful. You look good. You and my sister in law have the same surg day. Dr Lavin did hers too.Her surg was at 7am that morning at St Tammany hospital. She has lost 110-115 pounds so far. Dr lavin did mine too in Aug. I have lost 60 pounds so far. take care, Chrissy

Hey, Chrissy! Thank you! I think I remember you telling me that your sister went right before me. I was the 2nd slot. I figured he could "warm up" on someone else. I didn't know it would be your sister in law! I think Dr. Lavin is one of the best in the country! Best, Vanessa
