I need a Life saving surgery called a SUBTOTAL GASTRECTOMY WITH ROUX EN Y, Because I suffer from a condition called GASTROPARESIS And Ehler's Danlos Syndrome. Gastroparesis is a condition where the stomach is no longer able to digest or empty food because the vagus nerve is damaged & the stomach muscle is paralyzed. This surgery removes 2/3 of the diseased stomach & part of the small bowel and creates a new passage way for the food to travel thru.

Imagine having the stomach flu .. Then imagine having everyday of your life and not being able to EAT NOTHING ... THE HORRIBLE PAIN AND THE PUKING EVERYDAY ... THIS IS MY LIFE.

The effects of this disease has taken a toll on my 38 year old body along with the complications of being on a feeding tube for over 3 years .. And my heart is starting to fail ... My heart rate is now unstable as well as my blood pressure. My heart rate falls into the 30's .. and my blood pressure is critically low. My body keeps going into acidios and the doctors don't know why. I am unable to hold up critical levels of potassium magesium or calcium and other vitamins because have an absortion issue. So the doctors just keep increasing the dosages each month.

If I have this Life Saving Surgery I won't be dependant on the GJ FEEDING TUBE AS MY ONLY SOURCE OF NUTRITION! AND THE DOCTOR'S BELIEVE MY CONDITION SHOULD IMPROVE. I WILL BE ABLE TO EAT SMALL AMOUNTS .. AND I WILL ALSO HAVE THE PACER SURGERY TOO.

PROBLEM IS MY TYPE INSURANCE WON'T PAY FOR THE SURGERY ... THE COST FOR THE SURGERY AND THE FLIGHT TO NEW YORK AND ALL THE FOLLOW UP CARE IS 21,000 .. I NEED 200 PEOPLE TO FIND IT IN THEIR HEARTS TO GIVE ME BACK MY LIFE ... AND GIVE MY CHILDREN BACK THEIR MOMMY ... IF 200 PEOPLE WOULD DONATE $110.00 I COULD HAVE A LIFE ... PLEASE.
