Hello My name is Troy I am new here, for 15 years I consumed junk food and mountain dew and everything else with sugar in it. Well I ballooned up to 567 pounds the most I ever weighed. What it got me was Limpydima for ten years in my legs and one point I was put in a nursing care home about to lose my legs. Well now my life has changed I am going to have Bariatric surgery gastric bypass sleave put in me, I am on a 1200 preoprative diet now.
