Hey Sharon! I just came across you on Dr. Freeman's new patient list. Wanted to wish you the best in your WLS journey. I also had to do the '6 month requirements' for BC/BS, but had no problems with approval. Just hang in there and have everything documented and your time will come too! Noticed that you are from Blountsville, so you're a former 'neighbor' of mine~~~I grew up in Nectar and went to school in Cleveland. We've lived in Dothan almost 11 years now, but Blount will always be 'home'! I just had my surgery on Jan 3rd and am doing fine~~this is the best thing I've ever done for myself! You are in the best hands w/Dr. Freeman, Tim and all the other staff! I cannot say enough how much they have meant to me in this whole process. Wouldn't want anyone else to do this. Will quit rambling about me, if you'd ever like to share, just give me a 'holler' and I'd be glad to hear from you! Will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Take care & God Bless You!~~~Lisa
