Bariatric Surgery | Jordan’s Story

After seeking care for nausea and abdominal issues, Jordan learned that both his liver and spleen were enlarged. His lab values signaled end stage liver disease, which could ultimately require a liver transplant, but his heavy weight would most likely render him ineligible. He was referred to Johns Hopkins bariatric surgeon Michael Schweitzer, who performed laparoscopic robot-assisted Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery. Within a year, Jordan lost more than 200 pounds and experienced an entire shift in his life. Now, he enjoys being active outdoors and is looking forward to getting married. #BariatricSurgery #JohnsHopkins #PatientStory
