<p>My name is <a href="https://www.instagram.com/andrezao_gb/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">André Silva</a>, 38 years old. I have had a Gracie Barra unit in the neighborhood of São Francisco &#8211; Niterói for 6 years. I have always been an athlete, but insulin intolerance (metabolic disease) made me lose autonomy over my body and almost led to my death. Even though I&#8217;m overweight, I&#8217;ve always maintained my Jiu Jitsu training routine at my gym.</p>
<p>I weighed more than 200 kg due to complications from insulin intolerance. This disease also caused pre-diabetes, gastric reflux, sleep apnea, fatty liver, among other health risks. 1 year and 8 years ago I needed bariatric surgery as a last resort. According to the medical team, after the surgery, discipline and a strictly healthy lifestyle routine would be necessary to try to return to fighting at high performance. After 1 month of surgery I put on my gi and was able to train for 30 minutes. The body was adapting. In 12 months, 60 kg was lost and I was discharged earlier than expected due to post-operative care, appropriate diet, physical rehabilitation work and Jiu Jitsu training.</p>

<p>In 2022 the opportunity arose to go to the United States and be a Jiu Jitsu athlete, an audacious project by Professor Fábio Gigantinho Villela at Gracie Barra Cedar Park. Even after invasive surgery and 38 years, I accepted the challenge, gave up a public job and embarked on my dream. Live fully for Jiu Jitsu.</p>
<p>In 3 months I competed in Austin Compnet (gold superfight), Dallas Open (silver Gi, Gold and Bronze category and absolute No Gi &#8211; Superheavyweight) and Texas Compnet (gold super heavyweight category). Total of 5 medals!</p>
<p>We remain firm to achieve more victories in the master category 2. Professor Fábio Gigantinho has done specific work to improve my performance in the master category where the fights are shorter and any mistake can cost the victory.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s continue living the dream of becoming an athlete again and living Jiu jitsu. Oss</p>

<p>Meu nome é <a href="https://www.instagram.com/andrezao_gb/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">André Silva</a> e há seis anos tenho uma unidade Gracie Barra no Bairro de São Francisco, em Niterói, no Rio de Janeiro. Tenho 38 anos e sempre fui atleta, mas a intolerância insulínica, uma doença metabólica, me levou a perder autonomia sobre meu corpo e quase não me arruinou a saúde de vez. Por pouco não faleci por culpa da doença.</p>
<p>Cheguei a pesar mais de 200kg. Mesmo bem acima de peso, como a foto mostra, jamais abandonei minha rotina de treinos de Jiu-Jitsu. O problema é que a doença também gerou um quadro de pré-diabetes, refluxo, problemas do sono como apneia, gordura no fígado e outros riscos.</p>
<p>Era hora de contar com outros mestres de outras áreas para, com ajuda da ciência e da tecnologia, vencer esse rival. No fim de 2020, encontrei uma equipe médica competente e decidimos por uma cirurgia bariátrica. De acordo com os médicos, após a intervenção cirúrgica, seria preciso uma disciplina redobrada e uma rotina de vida estritamente saudável, para que eu pudesse sonhar em voltar a competir.</p>
<p>Um mês depois da cirurgia, consegui enfim matar a saudade do kimono e rolei por 30 minutos. Meu corpo dava sinais de que ainda estava em adaptação. Em 12 meses, foram eliminados 60kg do organismo. Recebi a alta médica antes do esperando por conta dos cuidados pós-operatórios. Isto é, uma dieta rigorosa e apropriada, trabalho físico de reabilitação rotineiro e meu treininho de Jiu-Jitsu.</p>
<p>Em 2022, surgiu a oportunidade de ir para os Estados Unidos e competir pelo audacioso projeto do professor Fábio “Gigantinho&#8221; Villela, na escola Gracie Barra Cedar Park. Mesmo já com 38 anos, e após aquela cirurgia invasiva, aceitei o desafio. Abri mão de um emprego público e embarquei atrás do meu sonho – o de viver integralmente em prol do Jiu-Jitsu, como meus ídolos e mestres.</p>
<div id="attachment_242209" style="width: 733px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-242209" class="wp-image-242209 size-full" src="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Andre-Silva-GB2.jpg" alt="" width="723" height="730" srcset="https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Andre-Silva-GB2.jpg 723w, https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Andre-Silva-GB2-297x300.jpg 297w, https://www.graciemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Andre-Silva-GB2-150x150.jpg 150w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 723px) 100vw, 723px" /><p id="caption-attachment-242209" class="wp-caption-text">Com a turma sadia da GB em Dallas.</p></div>
<p>Em três meses, disputei o Austin Compnet (medalha de ouro), o Dallas Open (um ouro, uma prata e um bronze, com e sem kimono) e o Texas Compnet (ouro). Total de cinco medalhas! Agora continuo firme para representar bem e lutar por mais medalhas na minha divisão, a categoria master 2. O professor Fábio Gigantinho tem feito um trabalho específico para melhorar meu desempenho na categoria master, na qual as lutas são mais curtas e qualquer erro custa a vitória.</p>
<p>Acredite nos seus sonhos. Eu acreditei, e sigo vivendo o meu sonho de voltar a ser atleta e viver em prol do nosso Jiu-Jitsu.
