This poor woman! After reading her story my heart is so sad for her and her family. I pray her situation will get better and someone reads her story that could really help her.

How awful!!! I can't even imagine. When I worked in a GI clinic I saw a few cases like this. That is why I decided to never consider bypass surgery.

I will keep Jessica and her family in my prayers.

I am speechless! I complain alot about what now to me are "little things". I am Praying for Jessica now as I type through tears. I have a strong faith in God and I am faithful that God will help her! Whatever his will may be. The last entry is just .....I dunno what else could happen she has been through it all. Thank you for sharing that link. I feel that she has somehow changed my life. In all of my years I have never felt the way I am feeling right now. When you think that you are going through a bad time then you read something like this and realize your problem is nothing. I know God will be with Jessica whatever the outcome.

This is sooo sad!!! I am just reading this for the first time. Why did she get sick in the beginning, did her surgery go wrong, or is it just her reaction to the surgery. I feel for this girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kelly, I believe these are all complications from her RNY. Well, except the breast cancer.

In the beginning of her blog she is so vibrant and full of hope and life. I could feel her joy and excitment when the pounds started to melt away. But then it just went ... wrong. Terribly and tragically wrong.

Here is a vibrant young woman who is so desperate to loose weight... I cry everytime I read her blog. Every single time. Such a sad, sad story.

I really am at a loss of words. (and that NEVER happens) I have tears in my eyes and my face in my hands. I hope she is ok, her last post was after finding out she has breast cancer and that was a bit ago. I will pray for her and her family. I will never forget this journey she is struggling through-ever. (wiping tears again) When anyone hears from her again please let us know.

I find myself wondering how all that could possibly happen to one person...

It really is a tragedy. It's my impression that when things go wrong with RNY they can snowball, because on top of whatever is wrong the patient is debilitated by the malnutrition that's going on. supplements just can't replace all the nutrients in real food, and the patients are weakened from the outset. So conquering problems is made all the harder.

My fingers are crossed for this poor woman. Things sure don't look good. :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
