Dr. Freeman and Tim are the best in my opinion.  I had my surgery there with them on Feb. 2, 2011.  I wouldn't change a thing.   They are very nice and very good at what they do.  Anytime i call the office i get excellent and quick answers and they have honestly been better than any doctor I have ever seen.  I have a check up with them tomorrow (my 3 month check up is almost a month late but I live in tuscaloosa and just had too much going on right now to get up there on time).  I drive 2 hours one way just to see him because I felt when checking into doctors that he was the best.  He has had the gastric bypass and so have his a couple of his nurses.  Hes honest and very dependable.  Sorry I don't know anything about the other doctors listed, but at least meeting and having a consult with him would not hurt anything.

Just getting started after 8 long years of research I am looking forward to  actually getting started.  It's about getting my life back! I know this is a lifestyle change forever, but the life I'm living now, even though I try to be happy, isn't what it should be. This is the tool that will allow me to start Truly living!

Hey there!  Good to hear from you.  We bbq'd yesterday too--I made lemon pepper wings, brats, steak and chicken on the grill, fried potatoes and onions, fresh corn, homemade salsa and strawberry shortcake for dessert.  It was yummy.

Hope your week goes great!

Topic: JUST CHECKING IN......

How is everyone?  Did ya'll bbq for Memorial Day?
DH had to work today so we cooked yesterday afternoon after church. I didn't do real well with supper last night.  We grilled steak, chicken breasts and hotdogs.  I made baked beans, fresh corn on the cob, pear salad and wheat rolls.  I really wasn't hungry when I ate, but I ate about 4 bites of steak, 1/2 pear and about 4 bites of baked beans.  No sooner than I finished my food, I felt so sick to my stomach.  I couldn't figure out why my stomach was hurting so bad.  Finally, I just had to get up and go outside and throw up.  I'm guessing I didn't chew a piece of steak good enough and it was stuck.  As soon as I threw up, I immediately felt better.   Sooooo, no matter how far out you are from surgery, you can still get sick, throw up, dumping and getting food stuck.  It's been 9 years and still happens on occasion.  I am just so glad the weight has started to drop off for me again.  I have about 15 more pounds to go....and I will be just about right again.  Thanks for letting me share.

Oops!!!!  What a bad mistake.  At least I made a few people laugh and smile, according to messages I had in my inbox.  I have to admit, I had to laugh at myself on that mistake.  LOL

 The lap-band is the WORST possible choice out of the four available Weight Loss Surgeries.


Personally I am a 10 year successful VBG'er.  I know of at least 16 different weight loss surgeries
