Danielle had gastric bypass surgery on September 11, 2018.  She has had numerous complications since surgery.  She has had 5 EGDs, 2 hospital stays for malnourishment, and 2 additional surgeries.  She was on TPN (IV nutrition) for a little over 10 weeks.  She now has a feeding tube.  She has been unable to work, and the anxiety and depression she has been battling and managing well for years has become more intense.  Scott is the only one able to work right now, and he has also picked up a lot of responsibility around the house and with their 2 young children.  The kids are managing well, but they do know their mommy doesn't feel her best, and just want her to get back to normal.
