"From the time I pulled up at the Freeman center in Anniston I was greeted warmly by the staff. The initial consultation was in a group setting (which was great because people were asking questions I had never thought of) and they laid it all out on the table, the good the bad and the ugly of gastric bypass, they made it very clear that the surgery is not a quick fix and that it is a complete lifestyle change. All that information actually gave me second thoughts but THANK GOD I DECIDED TO GO AHEAD WITH THE PROCEDURE! Since my surg. 10/04/06 I have lost 115 lbs and continue to drop more each week. Dr Freeman and his staff are very knoweledgeable about the surgery, several of his staff including Dr. Freeman have had it done. They do have aftercare but I live so far away that I dont participate..I would rate my experience with Dr Freeman a 10! He is a Godly man and prays with you, who better to trust with your life than a man who trust God?"
