When Losing Weight Becomes A Sickness....Read Lisa Brown's Story!

For many ladies, losing weight is a lifelong dream and some of them go to great lengths to achieve this (myself included) However, for 32 year old Lisa Brown, the reverse is the case as she has a disease that is making her lose weight at an alarming rate.

The former model has lost almost 4 stone in less than two years and is a shadow of her former self, crippled by a constant pain that is slowly starving her to death.

Weighing just 89lbs, every day she suffers severe vomiting, severe pain and nausea and is unable to keep any solid food down due to an illness that doesn't allow her eat.

Lisa is one of just 400 documented people across the world with the illness, Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome, SMAS, a gastrovascular disorder that causes a pinching of the intestines making it hard for one to keep solid food down. This disease also has a mortality rate of only one in three.

Unfortunately, this disease has affected her life so much that she can barely do anything for herself anymore. The only way she can eat is to hook up a stomach feeding tube to give her the proper nutrients she needs to survive. Despite multiple operations to correct her digestive system, each avenue has proved unsuccessful and Lisa Brown's future remains in doubt.
