Stomach removal?

I have a friennd that is like a mother to me! She is having to undergo a stomach removal because of many years of stomach problems. The only other solution would be to have a pacemaker put in to help with her issues but this would cost her $50,000.00 and is not coverd by her medicaid or insurance. I have heard the life expectancy on this kind of surgery is not very long. She has sufferd so much in her life and I think right now in this state of mind dying is probably some sort of relief to her. I personaly think she is way to young to die and I am trying to find some way to help her! If anyone has any advice for me please let me know. There is not much time left and there has got to be something that can be done! I am at my wits end and have no clue where to start!
Thanks, Amy

hi, amy,
i'd like to share my experience. i am a chinese male aged 68. i had undergone gastretomy last march. before my surgery, i only suffered stomach ache very occasionally. but i lost 20 pounds in weight within half year which i mistook it for a successful weight loss program. the diagnosis was stomach lymphoma. the removal of the whole stomach with spleen was necessary. 'cause i had gallbladder stones so it was advisable to have it taken out. the whole surgery took six and half hours. luckily, i recovered very well. perhaps i had good health as an old man, i had not suffered from high blood pressure, high chlorestorol level and that kind of symtoms adhered to old people.
now i can lead a normal life. i can take in any kind of food as usual only at 80% of what i took before.i can also take in fatty substances such as cheese in small amount. i have to chew very thoroughly and swallow slowly. i had to be very careful with my dentures. so my opinion is that the removal of the whole stomach is no problem. Only that we have to listen to the medical advice and trust to God.

Hello to anybody on this site. I'm new to this site and am seeking answers to my mother's ailments, hoping someone could point me in the direction on how to ask one of the doctors directly, listed, a question relating to her. I've selected on their name & title but don't know how to send or where to click to write them directly. Any response would be appreciated. Thank You,
Marti

Hi... I was looking for input from people who have had surgery on stomach removel. I am 37 yrs old and I have had many abdominal surgeries and i deal with motility disorders in my whole gi tract. I was diagnosised with dumping syndrome which I have found out that I have had it for many years, I also have found out my stomach is not able to accomidate food or expand for food. I am in pain every day 24/7 and it has taken over my life. I have heard lots of bad stories and good about this type of surgery but I just really want to research this out. If anyone can please give me input on their stories I would greatly appreciate it so much.
Thank you
Thank you
Hi casselman,
Please tell me your friend first name and age and I will submit this information to our prayer group so that she can be miraculously healed. I am presently going through stomach issues supposedly caused by hpylori bacteria and I have been prayed for. So all your friend has to do is EXPECT A MIRACLE!!!!! and tell her to say these words seven times a day three times a day for seven days starting today: JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD! then she should read St. John 3: 16
