My Story

[dejaseana 41]

Hello all! My name is Janeisha, I'm 34 years old residing in Jacksonville NC. I am married to a wonderful man and I have 2 daughters who are 14 & 10. My screen name Dejaseana is a combo of their names.

I started my journey 2 years ago. I have Aetna and they require the 6 month physician supervised "diet". The first time I started I got really frustrated and quit during the 6 month process. The office was an hour and thirty mins away. I had to visit many different doctors in many different cities and it was just too much at that time in my life.

So here I am again. I'm with Miles surgical in Wilmington NC and I just had visit 5 last week, so I basically I have one visit to go before we apply for approval! This has been such a emotional roller coaster. I have days that I feel like the surgery is going to kill me and I'm making a huge mistake! Then on others I feel really good about it. I'm currently 319 and I'm 5'3".

I have always been a thick girl but I became morbidly obese in my 20's. I have sleep Apnea, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, PCOS, borderline diabetic, severely anemic, and a servere Vitamin D deficiency. I feel crappy most days. I'm tired all the time and my quality of life sucks! I have a beautiful family who needs me to feel better and in doing this for us!

I don't have low self confidence! I love fashion and I've always dressed really nice! People keep telling me how great in going to look but I wanna hear how great im going to FEEL!!

Anyway the doc says my surgery will be in August! So please keep me and my family in your prayers

Welcome to the group. You really are a sexy woman. Your working that dress. Since you mention you already have health issues seem like this surgery will be great for you. This is a wonderful group. We are real people with real problems. We have one another to hold on it. We have members waiting for surgery others had it. Others insurance being a pain. I went threw a lot but I'm getting better now. Had my surgery May 30, 2012

Welcome to the group!!! How does your hubby feel about you having surgery?

My hubby is very supportive! He loves meat on the bones and adores me exactly the way I am. However he has seen me struggle and wants me to be happy so he is very supportive. he always jokes about being able to toss me around in the bedroom, lol

I wish you all the best in your journey. I am 8 yrs post-op and can tell you that you will feel amazing as the weight melts off of you and then like a new woman once you reach your goal. I can remember walking past a store window and not recognizing my own reflection, lol. Just promise yourself that you will follow up with your dr as required. I wish I had done that. I lost a total of 111 lbs and now have put back on 32. Trying to get things under control...and finding this site has been a blessing. Good luck to you! You can do it! You are sooo worth it!!!
