Hello Stephanie,
I am sooo happy for you! you have come a long way in a year, well, we both know it took a bit longer...lol. My name is christine whitman, my friends call me tina. I am struggling with medicaid to help me with the wls. I am over 400 lbs, have multiple health issues, but it seems none are " currently life threatening"...man...i was denied, had a phone appeal..and now may have to wait 90 days to hear the outcome of my appeal...i have been unable to work for 2 years due to back and leg pain and swelling...and get this, I AM A NURSE...lol...i really miss working..my doc says this is my best shot at being able to return to work. it may take a couple of years, and back surgery also...but i am too darn young to feel this OLD!!!...i am 46 going on 80...lol..ok...enough about me....i look forward to hearing more about your progress....tina
