Description:
2004, I weighed 803lbs and it was not because of OverEating. When I was a baby I had seizures. Dr. gave me meds till age 2. I then began to gain weight. They'd say "He Just Eat Too Much" and until age 16 I never knew I had a Disease. A Physical brought a Blood Test. My Testosterone was below normal range so I saw an Endocrinoligist. I was diagnosed with Froelich's Syndrome(Adiposogenital Dystrophy). 2004, I was 600lbs and dying. My Dr. advised Gastric Bypass. During the wait I gained 200lbs of water. I had surgery November, 2004. I had many complications and almost died 5 times. I am bedridden and expecting to have surgery on both of my hips for HeteroTopic Ossification. I'll never give up and I'll always be here for you. If you or anyone you know is Obese please seek help or if your child is showing signs of Obesity get checked. I'll be here for support and spiritual guidance as much as I can. I am no Doctor but I'll be your friend.
