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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
