SteveFrett 155 Posted June 27, 2012 Folks I was Almost 400 lbs at my heaviest weight! I would eat like I was going to the chair, then diabetes reared it's ugly face. My general physician 1st recommended I try to eliminate bread, Pasta, etc... now I am a Italian guy, try telling that to a ginny!!! Obviously that never happened.. he suggested I look into bypass surgery.. that was 2003, I will Not lie, it was a extremely difficult to adapt to but it's mind over matter and you need to stick to it don't give up!! If anyone needs more mentoring hit me up 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BayougirlMrsS 3,935 Posted June 28, 2012 I hate sound so skeptical, but I am calling sock puppet. This poster just joined today and spammed the same thing in 8 different places on these forums, including an email to contact him at. But, he's put 3 different years as his surgery date- 2003, 2005, and 2006. Sorry but I'm calling sock puppet b*llshit. Likely with some sort of ulterior motive. wow good catch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
