I played 3 sports in high school (football, wrestling, track) and played football my freshman year of college. I hurt my knee twice that year, which is when the weight started piling on. I gained 200 pounds in 7 years. It was a struggle to find clothes except at the big and tall stores, which were always 40 minutes to an hour away.<\/p>\n<p>I found BeLiteWeight through a contact at work. My sister just had my nephew and just wanted to start fresh. I had my Bariatric Surgery April 29th 2010 in Juarez. My patient facilitator, Dr. Rodriguez, and his staff where amazing. It was one of the nicest hospitals I was ever in. The staff helped as much as they could and everything was explained and questions were answered. I never felt in the dark about anything. I was nervous because it was my first surgery ever.<\/p>\n<p>It has been 17 months since my surgery and I have lost 226 lbs.* I went from a 6x shirt to a 2x shirt. My pant size is 38 now instead of 56.* I can go to a store and get clothes off the shelf. I went kayaking for the first time in my life. It hasn&#8217;t been easy but I couldn&#8217;t be happier to see where I was to where I am I now.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:tahoma,geneva,sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">If you want to learn how the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/weight-loss-surgery-procedures\/gastric-sleeve-surgery\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gastric Sleeve<\/a> might transform your life as well <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/contactus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contact<\/a> BeLiteWeight today!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have always been the &#8220;big&#8221; kid in class.
