⭐⭐Patient Spotlight: Kathy's Transformational Journey⭐⭐

Kathy says she feels younger than she has in years - and it shows. From playing on the playground with her grandchild to crawling through tunnels she once couldn't fit into, she's rediscovered a level of energy and freedom she thought was behind her. ❤

When Dr. White asked her a simple but powerful question: "What do you want your life to look like over the next 20 years?" - everything changed. Kathy knew she wanted to be healthy, active and fully present for her family.

"Dr. White changed my life. He was so encouraging. I loved his personality and bedside manner - he helped me see life differently. I don't have to settle for a life where it's hard to move or painful joints... I am grateful to Dr. White for showing me a different world."

One year after bariatric surgery, Kathy has lost over 70 pounds - and gained a renewed sense of possibility. When asked what advice she would give to others, especially those facing plateaus, Kathy share: Believe in yourself. You are worth the investment. Anything work having, you have to work for - but it's worth it.

At Lexington Health Weight Loss and Wellness, we're here to support you through every step - including the challenging moments. If you're feeling stuck, you're not alone. Progress isn't always a straight line, but your goals are still within reach.

Kathy has summed up our invitation to you or a loved one who would like a different, healthier life: "I encourage you to transform your life."

⭐Celebrating Jackie's Journey⭐

Just 4 months after bariatric surgery, Jackie has lost 50lbs - an incredible milestone worth celebrating! While scale victories matter, what truly stands out are the non-scale victories she's experienced along the way: shopping for new clothes, improved overall health, more energy, and the ability to be more present for her family.

Before making her decision, Jackie took the time to do her research, asked questions, and connect with her care team. She encourages anyone considering their options to do that same - educate yourself, talk with trusted providers, and choose the path that feels right for you.

Jackie found that undergoing bariatric surgery was the best choice for her. When commenting on Dr. Antonetti and his team, Jackie shared: "I can't say enough good things... the most amazing people, full of knowledge...[they] had my back the whole way." Feeling seen, supported, and confident in her care made all the difference.

Whether you're exploring surgical options or medical management, our team at Lexington Health Weight Loss and Wellness, is here to guide and support you every step of the way.

⭐⭐Patient Spotlight: Kenny and Margaret Branham⭐⭐

Kenny and Margaret didn't just begin a weight loss journey - they made a life-changing decision together over 1 year ago with Dr. White.

Since their bariatric surgery, they've lost a combined 160 pounds - but for them, the transformation goes far beyond the scale. 😀

They've completely reshaped their approach to food - limiting sugars and fats, even eating smaller portions, and slowing down to truly enjoy each meal. Kenny even shares that they've saved money on food because they simply don't need as much anymore.

More importantly, their quality of life has changed in ways they never expected. With more energy and a more active lifestyle, they're now able to spend more meaningful time with their family.

Kenny reflects on his experience: "If I had to rate Dr. White from 1 to 10, I'd give him a 12. He was open, honest, and never promised anything that he couldn't deliver." He also emphasized the impact of the full care team: The dietitians and staff were always helpful.

For those considering bariatric surgery, Kenny has this advice: "Don't hesitate." Kenny also encourages people who are considering surgery or those who already had surgery to attend the monthly bariatric support group at Lexington Health Weight Loss and Wellness to meet people, building a community, and connect with others who understand your journey.

Today Kenny and Margaret are healthier, more active, and enjoying life in a whole new way - and they're incredibly grateful to Dr. White and the entire team for supporting them every step of the way.

Lanita credits her success to staying committed to the basics: prioritizing protein, staying hydrated, and taking her vitamins consistently. But just as important was the support she received along the way. "Working with Dr. Hughes has been an amazing experience," Lanita shares. "He and his team were always responsive to my questions, and I never felt rushed during my appointments. He was so encouraging every step of the way."

For anyone considering bariatric surgery, Lanita offers this: If you feel like it's the right tool to restart your weight loss journey, go for it.

And for those who may feel stuck along the way, Lanita states: "Definitely stick with the plan your doctor and nutritionist give you."
