unexplained weight loss after neck surgery

Several months ago my father underwent neck surgery to fuse a couple of discs.  During the surgery his esophagus was damaged by the track tube.  His weight has dropped from 220 to 157 - despite countless tests Doctors cannot explained this unexplained weight loss.  All tests have been negative.  He is seeing a specialist from Chapel Hill Nc and he has been eliminating possible causes but is running out of options.  Thanks in advance for any advice.
