Hi Everyone my name is Shantay Jones I am 30 years old married to my lovely husband Kiel for 8yrs. My journey starts about 2 years ago with research on WLS.  I have been over weight since I was in elementary school about 20 something years. Growing up was a little hard has far as weight my father was very hard on me and my mom and grandmothers always made me feel very good about myself. Can't say I am a daddy's girl however I give honor to GOD for having both parents now that  I am older I understand where my dad was coming from I may have had a different approach however moving along. (GOD is good all the time) My mother's mom died when I was 21 and my world was turned upside down this was my girl I could talk to her about any and everything I know it has to happen however I wish we had a little bit more time t so sorry for sounding selfish GOD needed her more. Well when I turned 22 I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes WOW!!! My weight at that time was 383 my doctor; husband and I were shocked I said Oh my GOD. Well I said have to do something I am on pills and between the pills and starting to exercise I am currently at 324 with a BMI of 50.1 I have been researching for 2 years and my doctor told my husband and I that I can look into the WLS I said that is a great idea he recommended the surgeon the date I started was 10/21/2008 I think I called the next day. The nurse told me I need to go to a seminar first and I did that all the while I prayed and asked GOD is this the right way to go he assured it was because everything has been fallin in place. I have completed all of the test and I even had a really nice contact at the insurance company she interviewed me and said she believes this will really help. She approved within 4 days I am with UHC I received my approval letter on Friday 12/26/2008. The surgeon office said they will schedule as soon as they have the letter in hand I am sure I should have a date this week of 12/29/2008. Please keep me in your prayers as I will for you all.

GOD BLESS!!!
