DJ Confusion

I'm trying to determine the liklihood of my lender coming after me for a DJ. I've read conflicting opinions on this board. The property is in Florida and was purchased as an investment. There is no second mortgage and although I put 25% down and wasn't paying for PMI, I've learned that the lender has the mortgage insured w/Genworth. We've been working closely with the lender for about six months and have tried the short sale path to no avail. I just submitted the paperwork for a DIL to Amtrust who in turn has submitted it to Fannie Mae. My question is if the DIL is accepted, will/can they come after me for a DJ? How about if the DIL isn't accepted and they go through w/foreclosure?
My confusion stems from reading this on the home page of this very website;

"Anti-deficiency statutes have been a recent topic of discussion with many borrowers wondering whether their lender has the right to come after them for any losses the lender may incur due to a potential foreclosure. While it seems a simple subject, the answer isn’t always clear by determining which state the property is located in. The AP reports anti-deficiency states as: The full list: Alaska, Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Minnesota, North Carolina, North Dakota, Texas, Utah and Washington."

Since I'm in Florida, what does this mean for me in relation to a DJ?
