My main insurance is Medicaid and I have found it's not Medicaid but the Doctor's who won't take "only" Medicaid.  God Bless Dr. Cannon.  To qualify for surgery through Medicaid, I had to jump through one really tough hoop.  I had to lose 10% of my body weight.  I started at 371 lbs.  So to get approved for surgery I had to lose 37 pounds.  That is why my little ticker here starts so high.  That got me to 333 lbs.  However, by the time they ok'ed me I was back up to 340.  People kept asking me why I don't just keep losing the way I was.  I wondered too until I lost the 37 pounds then right away, started eating what I wanted and guess what?  I started gaining again.  See the quick gain.  I did lose 37 pounds in two months though.  Today, March 28, I weigh 316 lbs.  Today, April 20, I weigh 295.8.  I am losing about 20 pounds a month, not bad.
