After the May procedure did not really improve Denise’s condition, we are now going to pursue surgery to improve Denise’s digestion. <\/p>\n
The surgery is a partial gastrectomy<\/a> where a part of Denise’s stomach will be removed and then reattached in a different way. <\/p>\n The goal is to deal with Denise’s unusually long stomach which combined with gastroperesis <\/a>causes food to ‘just get stuck’, it causes her great pain, and is implicated in her nutritional lack. <\/p>\n Our hope is that her stomach will be able to empty better and help her nutrition. <\/p>\n After the surgery, she’ll have to have a feeding tube (J-tube) as her source of nutrition for a while. <\/p>\n ‘Full’ Recovery can take six or more months. <\/p>\n Thanks for your prayers. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After the May procedure did not really improve Denise’s condition, we are now going to pursue surgery to improve Denise’s digestion.
