Over the course of several years I thought of RNY surgery, I even went to 2 Bariatric Surgeons and ended chickened out of having surgery.  My health was declining even further, High Triglycerides (800), High Cholesterol, High BP, and pre-diabetic so Once again my weight was on my mind not to mention in '04 I lost 50pds to put that back on in late '06 early '07.  So one day in Feb. I decided to get on the internet and look up Bariatric Surgeons in my area, that search led me to call Dr.Bryan Freeman's office in Anniston, AL.  I had a consultaion conference 4 days later, I was excited, but still somewhat unsure If I would follow thru w/ the surgery.  In the past my family was non-supportive but as seeing my health further decline this time they were supportive, my husband went w/ me to the conference and was very Impressed w/Dr.Freeman, his mannerisms and the fact that he prayed w/ us at the conference.  Before we left that day each of us in the conference knew exactly what our ins. would pay, I have BCBS of AL and had to follow a 6 month weigh-in w/ my doctor or a nutritionalist before approving me for surgery, I had no problems after my 6 month weigh-ins /diet was over, my info was e-filed and I was actually still on the phone w/ Beverly when she said "your approved" I almost fell out, I figured I had to wait days/weeks to get an approval but I did not.   I had my RNY on Aug. 22, 2007.
