Well Dr Kuri had a death last yr you can read it on Google

I can't send you a pm it gives me an error msg?! I've spoken to Joann from Dr.kuris office (I believe that's her name) she gave me info but talking to someone who actually went through the process with them is important to me any other tips or advice would be great thanks again;)

That's awesome!! How much have you lost?? How was your experience with Dr Kuri? I'd love to hear about your journey;)

Thanks soo much everyone! My boss doesn't really like it when I request time off so this makes me feel better hopefully I heal fast;)
