	Dawn Hi, I'm Dawn and I'm an LPN in the office. I have been working here since March of 2006 but have been a patient since July of 2005. I had my surgery in July of 2006!   I have lived in Alaska for the past 27 years and enjoy the outdoors and scenery of this great state. In my spare time, I play darts on a league and usually go to Las Vegas for the International Championships once a year.                             Bobbie Byers Hi, My name is Bobbie Byers, RN, and I am proud to say Alaska Bariatric Center is my workplace now!!! I have been a nurse for over 20 years, with most of my experience being in the ER in Dallas, Texas. I graduated from the University of Georgia, GO DAWGS!!  I am also a bariatric patient, I am patient #911!!! I had surgery on January 27th, 2006, and as of January 27th, 2007, I am down 230 pounds!!! This has opened a whole new life for me as you can imagine.   My husband Paul and I reside here in Anchorage with our daughter, Aurora who is 13. We have verious fish, birds, 2 dogs, and a cat to round out the Byers clan. I am looking forward to camping and fishing this summer for the first time in my life. I look forward to meeting each of you as you come into the office!!!               Kristen Phillips Hello, my name is Kristen I am one of the new girls in the office. I was a Lap Band patient three months before I became an employee. I love the crew and the patients that I work. There is never a dull moment around here!   I have was born and raised in Seward, AK and moved to the big city of Anchorage when I graduated from Seward High School in 2001. In my spare time I love to enjoy the fruits of Alaska. Camping and fishing are my favorites. I also have fun in the winter creating stained glass master pieces and I hope to learn how to ski/snowboard this winter.   I have a lovely husband, two great kidos and two dogs. My husband of three years, Carlos works for the IBEW. Our son Justus is a fun loving, companionate nine year old foot ball player. And our four year old daughter Kaylee wants to be a princess/lady bug when she grows up. Our oldest dog is Mariah, who on occasion is a bit difficult to love, however we do manage. And Rico is our two year old American Bulldog who had to have been fathered by Scooby Doo.  Life is good!!!   See you soon, Kristen

	Lexie  Hi! My name is Lexie and I work for Dr. Todd. I had an Open RNY in November of 2003 and have lost around 160lbs. My life has changed so much since surgery. As you can see from my picture, I have added some great adventures to my new life.  There seems to be a whole new world of possibilities available to me now that I have lost weight. I love a new adventure!   I really enjoy working here and getting to see all of the new and familar faces.
