Here is Michael&#39;s heart warming update in his own words:&nbsp;<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\n\t\t<span style=\"color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 15px;\">I have been overweight most of my adult life trying every diet and scam plan available. I decided to to have the surgery although I was very nervous about doing this in Mexico. After the initial shock or being overwhelmed from being in another country having this procedure done I relaxed and enjoyed the great care and treatment I received from all the staff. I have lost around 70 pounds and feel great and my friends and family say I look great. This was the best decision I could have made to turn my life around. I can now enjoy my granddaughter and going to buy clothes. Went from XXXL to XL and some large shirts. From 42 waist to 36 and some 34&#39;s. 52 jacket to 48 regular. I think shopping is the most fun now when I used to hate it. Thanks again to BeLiteWeight and Dr. Jose Rodriguez and staff.<\/span>\n\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">To learn more about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/weight-loss-surgery-procedures\/gastric-sleeve-surgery\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Gastric Sleeve<\/a> and how it could change your life as well call <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beliteweight.com\/contactus\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">BeLiteWeight <\/a>now!&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The BeLiteWeight team is so overjoyed every time our prior patients send these&nbsp;inspirational and&nbsp;positive progress updates.
