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.
