Tannia

But is there light at the end of this tunnel or is this her life. Continious pain, nauseous, depression and being fed through a tube. What is the end result of this. Im grasping at straws here i know but has anybody gone through this and what is the journey?

Let me firstly start by saying this operation and the complications that come thereafter arw not only confusing but just never seem to stop. My sister had this operation 2.5yrs ago with a success story. She lost weight and was looking great. 2.5 years later she started putting on weight again and went back to the same doctor to perform the surgery again. Whilst i have no idea what the criteria is for this operation her weight was 100kg at 1,74 in height. This operation took place 4 months ago and its been a nightmare from the word go. A week after having the operatiin she was rushed back into hospital in icu on life supporting machines. She had septacemina from a gastric leak. (Please excuse me if i dont know all the correct terminology, this whole experience has been horrific). A touch and go situation, she survived however has not stopped having complications. She has been in (mostly in) and out of hospital for the past 4 months. She still has a leak, she cant eat and has a feeding tube inserted to go directly to her bowel. She is weak and frail and doesnt even have energy to brush her teeth. The doctor after what seems very many attempts to close the leak is not getting it right. Is there a happy ending to this story? Has anybody else suffered similar sort experiences. Please i would value your feedback as i would just like to know how else i could possibly be helping my sister. She seems to be at the point of giving up on EVERYTHING.
