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.

That was so sad...I almost cried! It really makes me thankful that I chose to have a band.

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. :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
