I had my surgery with him 12/26, only good things in my end.
I love his bedside manner, the whole team has been great so far.

That's great to hear 🙂 How are you healing from your surgery?

Heres the girl I started following on YouTube. I’m in Florida also. So is this youtuber. She has share of cost.

I follow her..lol How did I miss she said 3 months😮 and I asked her doctors name it's Dr Melendez in memorial hospital. I was actually planning on calling to speak to them. If you speak to them let me know what they say 🙂

I found a YouTube video and a woman who had share of cost said she only was required to do 3 months. Have you found anything else out?

Hello RocketsMom

I stopped researching VSG for a few months now. Ive been side tracked with school, my kids and now the holidays. Once the New-year begins I will start again ☺️ To answer your question..lol All of the doctors offices I called said 6 months 😐 Maybe its different for each state?? (I'm in FL)What youtuber are you referring to?? I would love to follow.

I have a question. I have the share of cost and always meet it at the first of the month with my prescriptions. Is it required to do a six month supervised diet? Any info on the process would be great. Thanks.

I'm in the beginning stages myself😊 But I was told by one of the doctors offices, that medicaid requires 6 months of a supervised diet. If you have had a medically supervised diet within the last year I think it may be different.

HTH💓

If so can you tell me your experience 🙂

Thanks 💓

Happy Healing💓🌷

I'm loving all the positive mommie posts

I'm a mommy too. I have children and honestly I feel a little guilty and scared because of the surgery. But seeing everyone's responses makes me feel much better 😊

Hiya Penelope, love your name! Welcome to Bariatric Pal, we 💘 love new people, if you have Any questions please ask. I'm from from the other side of the Weight loss family, I had an RNY bypass on September 5th, but I have oodles of Sleeve friends on here so know a lot about that process as well. And we would love to help you along on your journey. As an example , a while back I was having a problem, sure I was singled out to have it and there was no hope for me Shared it on here, 4 people had encountered the same thing and had a easy way to solve it. I'm an inch taller, started out at 355 and am down to 293 , didn't think I would get under 300 but I did it! And I give credit to my surgery, because I couldn't drop my weight by any simple diet, and I have tested a mind-boggling amount of them in my time.7 weeks after surgery, I can see differences in my body, my waist, my legs, my rump and even my belly. And I want this to continue, and I believe with this new tool it will! Join me on this journey, things are always happier with friends!😛🌈😛

Wow you experienced so many positive things from you surgery. I can't wait to see the positive things that will come with my journey😊 Let's be BFF'S 🤗❤🌈

Hi, Amanda

I have Florida Medicaid Share of Cost.

I wanted know which Doctor did you go to. I dont understand with open case term and how it works? Can you please help me. Thank you

Hello maybe I can help you I myself have Medicaid share of cost and I found two places that take it . Look up gastric sleeve center in Miami. Their website says they take cost of share Medicaid. Also I follow a woman on YouTube and she also had cost of share and she was able to have surgery at memorial hospital.
