Morgan Underwood, 22, went from being 'curvy' to just over five stone

A young woman received a life-changing diagnosis only after her usually "curvy" body dropped to around just five stone.

“I would be too scared to eat during my 12 to 13 hour shifts as I knew if I did, I wouldn’t be able to make it to the toilet in time, which then led to me feeling physically exhausted and extremely run down.” At her lightest, Morgan tipped the scales at just 5st 2lbs, leaving her unable to leave her bed without help.

Everything came to a head when Morgan was rushed to hospital in August 2023 with gastrointestinal bleeding. She underwent surgery several days later. Following a third bleed, she underwent more surgery for a total colectomy segmental resection, meaning she will need to use a stoma bag for the foreseeable future.
