My 600-lb Life star Nicole Lewis first approached bariatric surgeon Dr. Now when she was just 23 years old and weighed over 700 pounds. Thankfully, after gastric sleeve surgery and a complete lifestyle overhaul, Lewis managed to shed over 300 pounds. But there's more to Nicole's story than just her weight. This is her untold truth. If there's one thing that's abundantly clear from Lewis' Season 5 episode of My 600-lb Life, it is that she endured an overwhelming amount of obstacles growing up. Her father was in and out of prison for as long as she can remember, rendering her home life quite chaotic. Additionally, her parents abused drugs, which resulted in frequent conflicts. Nicole summed it all up on Facebook, writing, "I didn't have the best childhood." That's how she ended up turning to food for comfort in the first place, which in turn caused her to gain the weight. Because of all the uncertainty that Lewis endured, including her father's absences and the fact that she and her family moved around a lot, Lewis had a hard time putting roots down and making local friends. She added, "I never really had a lot of people in my circle, so my circle was based around social media. That was always my outlet." Lewis was especially active on YouTube, although she also had MySpace and Facebook accounts as well.
