I have been having blurry vision as well. Went to an ophthalmologist last week and did a bunch of testing. Everything looks normal so he said I should take 400 mg of magnesium a day and it has helped.

Hi there. I wanted to let you know I am getting my surgery and I have Florida Medicaid Share of Cost. There wasn't much info when I first started out and wanted to provide some info. First of all it was very hard to find any office who participates with this insurance. But I prevailed and found one not too far from me. The thing is that you have to meet your share of cost in the very beginning of the month and get the bill over to Medicaid as fast as you can. Typically they have 10 days to activate your Medicaid. You may have to pay for more appointments out of pocket until they open it. I did all my preop appointments in the month of July. Starting with my Endoscopy on July 2. After the tenth day after you submit the bill to them if your Medicaid is not activated, call, call,call Customer Service at DCF and request a supervisor and tell them you need surgery and they need to open your case. If it takes you all day to get through to someone who will help you, do it. I did and my case was opened the next day. Once it is opened the surgeons office can do the pre authorization. Mine came back approved in one day. That was last week and my surgery is tomorrow!
Message me with any questions. It was very hard to get everything done, but if you want it badly enough, You can do it too!

I know. I was watching them eat it and trying to visualize all the calories and fat. My teenage son is naturally thin and can eat whatever he wants, it's crazy.

Hello July buddies! My surgery was 07/29/2013, almost 6 months ago. SW 246 CW 188 Goal 150 My weight loss has really slowed the past 2 months, only losing about 5-7 pounds. I keep yo-yoing between 187 and 188 for the past few weeks. It's the smallest I have been in 14 years and feel good, but I would really like to get another 20 off at least. Very frustrating

I have heard this since I was a little girl!! So done with it. How does anyone think this is a compliment? To me it means, you would be a lot prettier if you weren't so fat! Just come out and say it. These are the people I will think about while kicking some butt at that class!! I hope I survive it!

If I had a dollar for every time I heard this phrase........, I hope I never hear it again!!
