Hi I am in Miami but my surgery was paid by insurance so I would not know about Medicaid. Have you tried calling the surgeon to see if they accept it?

[Lindsey 11]

no i know a surgeon that accepts medicaid i just wanted to know the step by step process

Hi! 389 was my starting weight too.... Get on myfitnesspal and set your calorie max to 2500 or lower (that's where I started and moved down to 1700 every 2 weeks). I also exercised 4 days a week for 30 min just walked on treadmill and did biggest loser dvd walking video. No soda and drink 64 oz of Water daily. I lost 30 lbs.

Oh I also went wheat on everything

Hello Lindsey, you can start the first two weeks of the south each diet, it's almost the exact same as weightloss surgery. Nothing white, no sugars, nothing refriened, nothing down the middle isles at a grocery store only the outside isles.

Do the diet I was put on. I didn't lose 60 pounds (I wish) but lost 15 pounds in 1 month.

1 shake slim fast or generic Breakfast

snack 1 fruit or salad

1 shake slim fast or generic lunch

dinner is any meat small amount & vegetables

I don't know why I didn't lose more. I stuck to it but that's why some if us need surgery. Even with diet & exercise wasn't enough to slim me down.

Thank you all for your comments

In New York Medicaid does pay for WLS my doctor does some work for them. You have to check with Medicaid in Florida.

Glad you miss the big storm.

My brothers and I own 2 apartment buildings in Key Largo and where watching the storm. Glad it missed us

My plan was to have a shake for Breakfast within one hour of waking up then a bar two to four hours later then two to four hours after that i would have lunch consisting of a lean Protein making up 2/3 of my meal and a none starchy veggie 1/2 cup cooked 1 cup raw (I was on a more aggressive plan so no fruit or dairy) then two to four hours after that i would have another bar then two to four after that a dinner following the same guidelines as lunch then a shake and consume half my body weight in Oz of Water I lost all my weight 27lbs in two and a half weeks and I was never hungry because i knew another meal bar or shake was right around the corner hope this helps I know you will do amazing! message me any time you need anything!

I have been drinking a muscle milk in the morning, healthy choice Soup and low fat yogurt for lunch, another soup for dinner with a pudding as a snack. I've lost 15 lbs in 23 days. I have to lose 30 before surgery, I have 60 days to lose the other 15 lbs

I am so glad I found this thread!!! I have been asking how to lose 5 pounds or more before the 24th and I think these ideas are just what I need
