An American model, who was healthy till five years ago, is forced to starve and shrink her body to bare skeleton.
She had a flourishing career, when she entered into a blissful wedlock in 2010. She slowly found that her health was going for a toss. She could not eat like before and started losing weight alarmingly.
Doctors diagnosed that she suffered from a rare Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome (SMAS), a gastrovascular disorder that causes pinching of her intestines making it difficult for them to process solid food.
She is one of only 400 documented cases worldwide. There is no cure for the condition, but Lisa continues to undergo corrective surgeries to make her life easier.
She can consume only liquids thru feeding tubes attached to the chest everyday.
