I went for my 4 year check up today.....

and Tim (at Dr. Freeman's office) told me everything was great.  I still have that last 20 or so pounds to lose, but Dr. Freeman wants me to journal and come see him once a month to help me get it off.  He says to drink at least 100 oz. of water a day, exercise at least 30 minutes a day and journal everything you eat and drink.  So I am gonna do this and see if I can get down into that size 12.  Maybe one day.  I was thrilled that my levels are all still good, though. 

This old woman sure does feel good.  I appreciate Dr. Freeman and his staff, and I praise God for this surgery.  It has saved my life in so many ways. 

Awesome Carmen.  Sounds like we were all going in for our annual check ups today.  I know there were several others going as well today.  You've done a marvelous job and I'm so happy to hear everyone is getting their check ups in.  We're in this for LIFE!!!!  Keep on rockin'!

You are right, Loretta...this is life.  I had none before.  Isn't it awesome!!!!  You have you a great day.

Isn't Tim and Dr. Freeman just wonderful?  Can't leave out the girls of the office either.  Joyce is such a sweet and wonderful person and always puts our needs first.  Ann what can I say about her.  She has done wonders with the support group and it has really grown. 
I will be going Monday to talk with Dr. Freeman and make a decision.  I am so glad that you got some good results.

Oh yes...Joyce came by and gave me a hug yesterday.  She is precious as is Ann, Beverly and all the rest.  I just love their whole attitude.  I know that I am very biased, but they are the best.

AWESOME news Carmen!!!!    Keep on keepin' on!!! 
Sounds like you are lovin'  your body! 

I have been 'accepted' as a patient of Dr. Lord's in Pensacola, so I am following your's, Loretta's and Lisa's footsteps and having an annual done soon!   

You GOOOO Jackie!!!!  I love going to see all the people who literally changed my life.  Of course, I give God the credit, but He lead me to them.  They are awesome!!!!  You have a great day today!!!

Great news Carman--you are an inspiration!

Carmen, that's fabulous!
