Just my thoughts:
In the event AmberLynn does read this forum - she should read this and check the links at the end of the post: There are some people that just don't have the willpower to lose the weight and stick with a healthy lifestyle. Also, if you were to try put yourself in her shoes (I can't even fathom how it would feel physically or mentally). Can you imagine if you had THAT much weight to lose. It would seem so overwhelming. It would not be like losing 10-20 points. We are talking HUNDREDS. That is why most people at her weight are beyond help, unless they get therapy and gastric bypass. It will indeed take that - it's sad. Most people that have been watching her vlogs over the years have stated that this has been a cycle of hers. It's just a fact. She will end up dead, if she does not seek medical help. She pays weight watchers as well, and does not even use their tools like group meetings, weigh-ins etc...
If she were able to get Medicaid she may be able to get it paid for:

Another link here:
https://www.obesitycoverage.com/ins...d-s-criteria-for-weight-loss-surgery-coverage (the link to check the state doesn't work)
https://www.nationalbariatriclink.org/ That site has a questionnaire the rings SO true. A couple doctors in Kentucky she could contact:

Here is another interesting thread, but is outdated this would be the one to really check out - she could call the places listed:

In closing, I highly doubt she makes too much money to be accepted for Medicaid. I have not followed her long, so anyone's thoughts here would be great. If she were able to get accepted for the surgery and receive therapy, why wouldn't she do it. Why wouldn't anyone her size?
