Raul De Molina aka El Gordo talks about his recent surgery with Miami Plastic Surgeon Dr. Simon

In this first‑person testimonial, television personality Raúl De Molina recounts his decade‑long deliberation to undergo body‑contouring surgery and his ultimate choice of Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Sean Simon after consulting several other surgeons. He describes the procedure in which 15.4 pounds of hanging abdominal tissue were removed, and emphasizes the remarkably swift recovery: within a day he was able to walk home, and over the next four days he averaged 2.1–2.5 miles of walking per day while taking pain medication for only one day. Raul stresses that he paid the full cost of the surgery—more than other patients—because he values the surgeon’s expertise. He also notes that Dr. Simon performed a breast‑reduction surgery on Raul’s daughter, who similarly praises the surgeon. Overall, Raul declares Dr. Simon the best surgeon he has encountered and expresses complete satisfaction with the outcome.
