shelly77 20 Posted July 27, 2012 I saw Dr.Lavin in Covington at his offices there. I live in MS, and I have several friends that used his team of doctors. I actually saw Dr. Lavin on Good Morning America back in June discussing a new procedure I believe he invented. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Randgalt 43 Posted July 27, 2012 I actually saw Dr. Lavin on Good Morning America back in June discussing a new procedure I believe he invented. That's how I found about Dr. Lavin. I was initially interested in the POSE procedure but my BMI is too high for it. I talked to Dr. Lavin on the phone for about 20 minutes and got a great feeling from him. I also did research on him and he's top in this field. 1 shelly77 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tipintx 41 Posted August 21, 2012 Any one else ever had this problem with your Thyroid TSH level being too high and if so how long to get the numbers to drop? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
