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

I love your confidence:-). You are beautiful! I'm sure you will do well! Good luck!!
