Josh needs your prayers! AKA jdavido

[ILgal]

Hey everyone,

Josh who goes by jdavido on this forum needs prayers from everyone! He is in ICU and will be for possibly two or more weeks. He has a genetic skin disorder that required two major surgeries. Then while recovering got extremely ill and found out he had gallstones. They did surgery and found well over 200 gall stones and placed a stent in. This pancreas and liver have extremely elevated levels and too dangerous to do surgery. They placed the stent to try to get rid of all the bile etc. that had built up. They will not do the surgery until all levels are acceptable to not be too dangerous to do surgery on him. He is in severe pain and in the ICU with feeding tube in. We all know that gallbladder problems can be an effect of our weight loss surgeries, but this poor guy has been dealing with so many other surgeries too. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers that he can get the surgery soon and get out of pain and out of ICU!

Many prayers and hugs to him! I had gallstones which eventually poisoned my gallbladder before I knew when I was teenager, it can be so painful Good thoughts and wishes out to him as well

I have been worried about his absence. This explains everything! He will be in my prayers and his wife too. Thanks for the update!

I'm sorry to ask this but are all these problems a result from him having WLS?
