Kristy has always been an avid horse rider.\u00a0She shared the difference in her life, just three months after having Gastric Sleeve Surgery, with Dr. Jose Rodriguez-Villarreal and Dr. Elmo Aramburo.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span> \"Kristy\u2019s<\/a>“I was 230 pounds and before my surgery it was hard for me to pull myself up onto my horse. I always looked for a pickup to help me up into the saddle. I never wanted to get off my horse unless I as done riding for the day.”<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Kristy had her surgery the middle of December, 2012. She wrote to us and sent her “after” photo just a few weeks ago.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Kristy\u2019s<\/a>“This picture was taken on February 19th. I was at 180 pounds then. Now this morning (March 5th) I was at 172 pounds. <\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I’m now 12 pounds away from my goal weight!!!\u00a0 <\/em><\/span><\/span>I am able to now get right onto my horse with NO problem at all!!! I’m so happy I did this surgery… Thank you BeLiteWeight!!! My life has forever changed!!”<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

For most patients it’s about regaining the simple pleasures in their life and <\/span><\/span>health\u00a0that mean the most to them.\u00a0<\/span> Congratulations Kristy!
