Topic: RE: Calling All Lurkers!!!
Hey Donna, I see you have lost a lot more. That'great! Things are going VERYYYYY SLOWLYYYYY for me. 5½ weeks out and only lost 21 lbs. since surgery. I started back to the gym this week and going everyday. Hope that helps. I'm doing everything right but have no appetite. Just making sure I get in everything I need to including protein & liquids etc. All right choices but I wi**** would go a little faster. Hey, by the way, how did you put HW/SW/CW/GW on your tracker?

Topic: Fort Myers - Naples area?
Just wondering if there is anyone actively here from this area. Most of what I read is Jacksonville, Daytona, Tampa, or Miami areas. Or areas I've never heard lol.
I'm pretty new here. I joined a year ago but didn't stick around. Now I am.

Topic: Medicaid process started
I'm reposting this, it was in the insurance section but perhaps the FL section will get a better response:
I went through the process for Medicaid. I am not sure what to expect now, other than "I will be contacted within the next 15-45 days". But on My ACCESS page, it doesn't show anything.
I'm also scared on whether or not they will cover me. I am jobless but a full-time student *****ceives Stipend checks. I am worried they may decline me because of this, but the real issue is that these checks won't help me with my problems medically. Will they interview me before accepting or declining? They don't even know why I am applying for Medicaid, which is not insurance at least to my knowledge it's only to help through a certain situation, right?
I'm so confused and lost and scared. I don't know where to go for any real simply put detailed information about this and this process.
I have a lot on my plate, with uncontrolled hypertension and high risk (if i don't have already) for diabetes as my mother was just diagnosed and everyone in her side of the family had it, and my grandfather had congenital heart failure and I now suffer from edema.
What are my real chances of getting help?

It's been a while since I have been a lucker or on site. It has been 30 months since my RNY. Started at 298 and lost an initial 135 pounds but have put back on about 17 so I am working towards getting that back off and a little more. I am going to a support group meeting every month and I think that is what has helped me not gain any more. Lost significant other in Feb and that is what put on the backslide.
Big thing now is getting some good recipes for the holidays. So if there are any good ones out there, please post.
Everyone have a great day.

Hey Kristen,
I'm glad you are here, I was begining to worry. I am trying to get this forum going but it's like pulling teeth!!!
Some of the other state forums are really active, I would like florida to be the same way.
How's married life treating you?
