Hello, everyone,!!
My name is Janet I am living Orlando Fl. I am new here on the forums, I am so happy to find this forum and read alls the post. My current weight is 265 lb. Already had my first appointment for evaluation on December 5. The doctor recommends due to the bypass because I diagnosed with pre-diabetic, apnea and severe gastric problem.I already had my psychology and nutritional l appointment. So in this week, I have the next appointment for the next step.Also waiting for Medicaid approved. I read here a lot about this something they wait for about six moth., another waits for a year and another one just complete the insurance requirement. Anyone here from Florida with Medicaid (Staywell)? Any here can tell me the next step? I am very anxious !!! Thanks in advanced

Welcome Janet! Medicaid varies greatly from state to state because it is a state-administered program. Federal money gets disbursed to states for Medicaid. There is a StayWell handbook available at https://www.wellcare.com/Florida/Members/Medicaid-Plans/Staywell. This may help.

Hi Janet, I'm new here too. I live in Davenport, Florida

I had my surgery at Celebration hospital. I had the duodenal switch. Being insulin dependent for years, on high doses of insulin. I've only take insulin twice since leaving the hospital. Surgery was on November 10, 2017.

Best of luck with your journey.

Marci

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
