Fernando Villalona is in recovery after some bariatric surgery this Tuesday morning.
Fátima Villalona, wife of “El Mayimbe”, thanked through her social networks all the people who were aware of the health of the meringue.
“Thank God @elmayimbe is already recovering thanks to all the people who via Whatsapp have been with me since 6:00 am pending, I confide that my nerves were killing me, but God was always with me, so thank you all for your prayers and good wishes , thanks @institutobariatrico to Dr. Luis Betances and his entire team, to their families and friends can rest easy”, Wrote Fátima.
Yesterday Monday the singer announced that he would undergo the surgical procedure because he gained weight “more than normal”.
“Dear followers, you know that I have always been transparent with you and many have worried about my weight and health, that is why I want to inform you that in this pandemic my weight increased more than normal and therefore my doctors and I decided to submit to a bariatric surgery for my health that will be performed this Tuesday, December 15 “, announced the merengue player.
Dr. Luis Betances was the one who practiced bariatric, a medical procedure used to treat obesity, seeking a decrease in body weight and as an alternative to treatment with other non-surgical means.
This is not the first time that Villalona has tried to face being overweight.
A little over a year ago, his wife, Fatima Villalona reported that after arriving from his vacation in Israel, “El Mayimbe” will not be in good health and spread with high blood pressure as a result of the rise of books.
The main factors of the mishap: overweight, stress, poor diet, among others, said Fatima then.
Although the test results went well, the singer began a special diet to lower cholesterol, triglycerides and sugar.
The performer of “Te amo too” and “Dejame volver” said in early 2019 that he is undergoing bariatric surgery, but did not perform it and preferred to continue with diets and exercises, although irregularly.
In October 2019, due to his health condition, he was unable to undergo bariatric surgery.
Earlier, in December 2018, “Mayimbe” himself had asked the public to be patient, indicating that behind the artist is a man with personal problems.
By that time his body had risen from 170 to 270 pounds.
“It’s been hard for me to lose weight these days … You may not notice what happens to every artist behind the curtain, but you yourself suffer from stress, anxiety, worries, strong responsibilities, family problems and more. and we have to hide when we enter the stage and this is my case, ”Villalona said at the time (2018).
A year ago, in November 2019, the “Dominicano soy” performer began training with fitness coach Haidy Cruz in order to transform her body and improve her health.
The training consisted of a routine of four days a week in which emphasis was placed on the artist’s diet and exercise, as explained by Cruz, one of the leading figures in the fitness industry in the Dominican Republic. .
Villalona on his side said that time he felt determined and happy to be able to start this training that already, according to him, the effects of the same one were felt by the discipline that is necessary to have.
