This is about ten years ago, I had lost over 100 lbs on phen phen. It worked well for me, but I lost the battle of keeping it off. When I was thinner, I wanted to buy some beer and they wanted to see id for proof of age. Well, I felt complimented because at the time I was 30. When I produced my driver's license, the cashier refused to sell to me because she just "knew" that pic could not possibly be me. I was angry at first, but then I realized I should just be thankful. I smiled all the way home even without my beer. Now, I am back where I started. I will start again. This time with a tool to keep my weight off. Congrats!!!! :frown:

Ok so I am newbie. I have tons of questions. I really appreciate y'all (yes, I am a southern girl) taking the time to answer my questions. I wonder about out of pocket expenses. I have medicare. I really haven't decided to be their patient. I am going back and forth between les Schmitt of Birmingham and Dr. Freeman out of Anniston. I would love to hear what you have to say about both Docs. Thanks you so much!
