Ed and Susanly W - 4 Year Update*

Hey Ms. Joanne. I have done very well after the revision of my Sleeve to RNY Bypass. I started at 368 and I stay between 175 and 180 all the time. My A1C stays at 3.1, BP at 105/70 and life is great.

I have had a right hip replaced. I had both knees replaced at the same time last Year and went back underground 86 days later until I retired after 42 years in mining this past March.

Susanly got down to 144 lbs after her Gastric Sleeve but has slowly gone back up a little. She can't exercise any longer with a bad hip and knee but won't have them replaced. She stays about 160-170 but that's still down from 235. She will be 71 in June.

I have sent no less then 10 people your way and I know of 6 who had the surgery and are doing well. Life is good, thank you Dr Rod, his Team, and of course you Ms. Joanne.

Before any Pre-Op I weighed I believe 368. So I am down 200# in 13 months.

I was in a car accident in 2003 and I hade been in pain everyday since then till about July/Aug of 2020. Since then I have been pain free, no more back or ankle pain. I am able to work out.. run. Since my car accident I was unable to walk up and down stairs.. now running up and down stairs is part of my workout routine.

I am no longer snoring or using a CPAP machine.  I am still struggling with what I can and cannot eat. But overall all the struggles in the beginning are all worth it.  I went from a 4X short to a Small, A 54 Jean to a 33 Jean with a belt.  

Thank You Guys.

My weight fluctuates between 123 and 126.  I was really concerned that as time went on I would put on weight as my stomach grew.  

The surgery has completely changed my life and eating habits.  I also feel a lot healthier.  

Still wearing size 28 (waist) jeans.  I can't recall when I could.  Hopefully COVID-19 hasn't affected business too much.

It has been exactly 4 years since I went to Juarez, Mexico for gastric sleeve surgery.  

It has been the best thing I have ever done for myself. Never at anytime was I afraid for my safety or felt fearful.  The hospital was spotless and everyone so professional.   Dr. Rodriguez was wonderful.  

I lost 80 lbs and have maintained my weight for 4 years.  I would recommend using Belite Weight to anyone.

Here are my before and after pictures.  The after picture was taken 2021.

Ashley J - 3 Year Update*

Hello! I just wanted to share my weight loss story!

In 2017, I had reached my limit. I made up my mind after failing at nearly every other weight loss tool. I was 5’3 and 223 the day I finally decided to go through with WLS. I was denied by my insurance for not meeting the qualifications, so paying out of pocket was my only choice. So I began researching tirelessly.

I came across BeLite and immediately knew that this was the one! After reading all the amazing success stories, I decided to give them a call.

They were extremely informative and seemed to truly care! Shortly after my initial call, my Mother and I were off to Mexico!

From the time we got off the plane we were greeted with the absolute best service ever! Although this was a scary decision, the hospital staff, doctors, and Belite Representatives were simply amazing. That was the beginning of a long road and a huge lifetime transformation!

Fast forward 3 years later, I’m much more healthier and my confidence has tripled!

If you’re contemplating WLS, look no further! Beliteweight is in a class of its own!

I have lost a total of 205lbs in the last year. I've gone from a size 54 waist to a size 36 and from a 6x shirt to a xl or xxl depending on brand. I'm still losing slowly. Not sure where the bottom is, but I'm definitely a lot better off than I was. Overall I'm very happy with my decision to take control of my life.
