Hi! I'm from Lexington and also have Anthem Medicaid. The approval process was very smooth. I am 5'1, and sw was 207. I have been pleased with the people over at the St. Joe East Weight Loss Center... Dr. Steiner is fantastic! Message me if you want more info! Good luck!

Did u have to do the psych eval? I would love to hear about ur journey and experience with this, I have had one eval a little over a year ago and failed it lol

Yes i did and it was the one thing that held me back a few months. They take it very seriously. The phsyc believed I was too depressed so I had to see a psychiatrist and attend therapy sessions until my depression was decreased by 50%.

O she said I had anxiety issues that needs to treated so now I'm on ativan

Id love to hear more of your journey. I am just beginning and have loads of questions.
