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
