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!

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%.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
