Lexi's husband Danny shared in the hospital with her 1.2million followers on her Instagram page @fatgirlfedup on Thursday.

He said she became severely sick a few weeks ago and couldn't keep any food down.

"She then started acting differently so I took her to the hospital where they admitted her into ICU," the post said.

Danny said that doctors put his wife in a medically-induced coma and on a ventilator as her organs started failing.

"They also told me if I had waited it's possible she could have died," he wrote.

"She is currently in dialysis, can't walk, and working on recovery."

'SO READY'

Lexi shared to her Instagram page days before her hospitalization.

She and her husband are known for shedding a total of 407 pounds over the course of two years.

The couple documented their remarkable weight loss journey on .

"I don't know about you but after the last year I'm so ready to get back on track, get healthy, and to see some change + progress!" Lexi wrote on January 2.

Fans took to the comment section to share their concerns about her wellbeing after not seeing another post for more than a month.

"No new post from her since November and Danny hasn't posted since July? Are they ok?" one person wrote.

Fans flooded the post from Thursday with well wishes for Lexi as she recovers at the hospital.

HEALTH BATTLE

It's unclear whether Lexi's medical problems are associated with her extreme weight loss.

Danny said that though she is awake now, Lexi cannot walk and is undergoing dialysis, which means that her kidneys aren't working properly.

"Getting her back to health has been our top priority," he wrote.

Her husband said that the family does not have insurance and that they might start a GoFundMe to help cover her medical costs.
