Lmiguel Santos recorded a new video to thank for all the affection he received after showing his belly after the surgery.
“ Hey, little guy, how you doing? Is everything okay? I came here to thank you for this wave of solidarity. The video I made reached 300,000 views in less than 24 hours. So many likes, so many messages. It's so nice to feel this love and affection on your part. It seems that it was yesterday that I left the program, but the truth is that it has been three years and people still cherish me like this”, started by saying in this new video that he published on social networks and where he comes up with his daughter in his lap.
“ As for the operation, knowing I'm going to have to have surgery again makes me a little reticent, because it's always an operation, but, as I say, it's always going up and I'm sure it's going to work. The best in the world I have here on my lap, which is my baby, and I forgot to thank you in the video before my family and the closest friends, who are the most important. These were there in these less good times,” he said.
Emotional, the former participant in the SIC program “Married in Paradise” said that at this moment he is “removed from what he loves most, which are horses”. “But I am happy, I feel fulfilled and I love you.”
“ I love you very much, baby girl, and I love you very much, my love”, I said, finally.
Remember that in the previous video, Luís Miguel Santos stated that “the colostomy saved him and shame does not define him”. I thank God to be alive and happy with the people I love the most.”
“ After my operation, I never felt like taking off my shirt so nothing better than being here, I'm gonna show you my belly and what the scar looks like. I got the bag. I'm waiting to be operated again, but you know what our National Health System is like ", he said.
In an interview with Júlia Pinheiro, in December 2025, the knight recalled the delicate phase of his life, having shared at the time: “I knew I had a health problem, diverticulitis, but I never thought it would take these proportions.”
