Lexi, who had been hospitalized for an overnight, shared her video on April 5 from her hospital room, writing: “Just waiting to get answers for my knots in my stomach and hips as well as all my issues with my right foot.” The pain level was an 8.
The influencer—also known under the pseudonym of A Fat Girl Gets Up—found social media fame for losing over 300 pounds with diet and exercise. In January, after her inability to keep food down for several consecutive days, she was taken to hospital. According to Lexi, her blood sugar significantly dropped and her organs started to fail when she arrived to the emergency room. In order to save her life doctors placed her on a ventilator.
After spending nearly a month in the hospital, Lexi was released but due to kidney failure, she needed dialysis three times a week. Just two weeks before her most recent hospitalization, the Indiana-native was celebrating the news that her kidneys were improving and she was taken off dialysis.
