“My mom died of a heart attack early. She was only 55, and it was due to her being obese for so long. That’s pretty young, and I want to live longer than that,” said Jessica Barnett. “That was the catalyst. I could see myself following in her footsteps. I really didn’t want to die.”
This is the primary reason for Jessica’s decision to have weight loss surgery. She had been on a 20-year weight loss journey, that culminated with her surgery in May 2015. At that time, she weighed in at 250 pounds, wore a size 22 and had a BMI of 40.

On July 13, 2016 at 3:02 PM, Fire Marshals responded to the 15200 block of Grist Mill Terrace in Woodbridge regarding an electrical hazard complaint in which a meter box had been jumped. Upon further assessment by Fire and Rescue, it was discovered that the meter circuit had been jumped by using two 4-gauge copper wires with welds holding it in place. This created a very dangerous situation with the potential of risk to nearby occupants. Further investigation revealed the suspect, John Anthony McClain.
