Hi everyone, I am writing this in desperation for my wife. Please if anyone can give me some advise I would GREATLY appreciate it!!!!!
My wife went through Bariatric surgery. She was told she was too heavy, even when she was only 215 lbs. During the surgery the doctor ended up sewing her esophagus closed against her stomach. This was discovered within 5 hours when the surgeon realized that my wife could not swallow anything, even here saliva. An emergency surgery was performed and the doctor ended up sewing her esophagus straight to her Jejunum,(Her throat to her intestine) pushing her stomach to the back of her body. Apparently by having done this, the stomach was totally destroyed and unfixable.
Some would say that this was done at a butcher shop hospital but actually it was done at William Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak MI., A highly credited hospital in the country.
After spending 5 mo. On a picc line I ended up taking my wife to University of Michigan Medical Center in Ann Arbor MI.(Ranked 9th in the US) where they fixed the all the problems they could.
Whats done is done and our whole lives have now changed, I am trying to get my wife to eat with no stomach now and it’s becoming a task. Even the doctors at University of Michigan Medical Center are confused why she cannot hold the food down. All the tests say that’s it a clear path now. She is even on anti-nauseous medicine.
Mary says that’s not working to well either.
Getting to the answers I DESPERATLY SEEK.
My wife has gone from 165 lbs to 125 lbs. even when she’s trying to eat. She says she has extreme lower pain after eating. NO MATTER what she eats. Even if it’s little bites and little portions, even shakes.
She throws up most of it after about an hour.
I will be willing to talk to anyone and call anyone for informational help.
Most Doctors will not even see her because of what the original doctor did.
Most doctors I talked to will not take someone else’s screw up.
Can someone please talk to me or give me a number I can call for help and info.
My name is Cliff Cernuto, I will call you anywhere or please call me or email me.
