I've been declining the same as your daughter. I had same issues. No one would take me on once they reviewed med records, surgeon mistakes, and risks of my complications. I had to have a j tube placed 2 weeks ago due to severe malnutrition, malabsorption and body rejecting nutrients, starting to attack itself.
I found an amazing surgeon willing to take me on, knew exactly how to give me a quality of life opportunity, he got in and had to removed remaining part of stomach and esophagus, pulling up my intestines to my throat. He's in missouri. Dr james scott.

How long before you found him after your surgery, it’s been 4 years since my daughter surgery and she only weights 95 pounds. I don’t feel like she could go through a surgery like that right now. Right from the beginning after the surgery I knew something wasn’t right because they were sending her to the emergency room for ice bags for hydration and then she had to have her gallbladder out 8 months later because she lost the weight so rapidly. It doesn’t matter what we tried she wasn’t absorbing any nutrients for her body. She has no muscle or fat remaining and we still can’t get anyone to help her.
