Hey girlie! Still hanging in there. Things are progressing nicely - I've actually lost almost 100 lbs since I started this journey - about 88 since my surgery. Can't believe that it's happening so fast and that I feel so good. Definitely starting to look like a Sharpei puppy though! How are you doing? Chanvita - you out there?

Glad you are doing good! Hope everyone else is too. Congrats on the 100!!! Me too - right at 100 since May 15. I hit goal at six months. I am trying to slow things down now. I bought a dress today that is a size 4. I don't want to lose anymore. Need a little something to work with you know!

Hey! So glad all are attaining their goals!

I've changed mine.... As I was getting smaller, I thought about what my overall goal was. I realized I want to be stronger. So I am now a CROSSFITTER!!! I'm only about 2 months in and I love it and my goal is already coming to fruition.

Hello. I know its been a while since I've posted. Well I thought my surgery would have been in October but to my surprise my insurance changed their policy. Instead of 3 momths weight management; they went to 6. So my paperwork was submitted to my insurance last friday the 13th. So now im playing the waiting game. Im very vert very nervous and scared and excited. So you guys cross ur fingers and say a prayer for me. Hope everyone is doing well. God bless!!

Anyone here who had their surgery with Riverside surgical @ Lexington Hospital with Dr. Antonetti? If so what were the steps after you received your approval from insurance?

I had my surgery with Riverside Surgical and Dr. Antonetti - a day or two after my insurance approval the office called me to schedule my surgery. I went on pre-op diet for 2 weeks and had my surgery. Its been smooth sailing ever since.

So did you have to do any pre op blood work or ekg or anything like that?

I was denied @ first but I appealed and was approved yesterday. So im waiting for Riverside to call me!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
