Help Sarah replace her feeding tube
Donation protected
Hi my names Sarah and I am diagnosed with gastroparesis and May Turner syndrome. I survive on a feeding tube as I cannot eat or drink. In the last two days my feeding tube has been having issues and now it is positioned in the wrong place therefore I cannot use it. The NHS are refusing to provide me with a new feeding tube, and my current tube is unsafe and I have been told by St Thomas hospital to stop using it. They have suggested I try to live without it and see how well I do, but I have not been able to eat for the last three years. I planned to start second year of medical school in September and I won’t be able to if I do not have a working feeding tube. Please help me raise funds to get my feeding tube replaced privately.
In my previous feeding tube replacement I developed cardiac health issues due to not being treated for dehydration prior to the procedure. I therefore now have a heart monitor attached. So before the placement of a new tube I need funds for sufficient hydration to be provided to me . Therefore I am raising funds for initial consultation, the endoscopic procedure and travel costs as the next available private doctor may not be in my city.
I need the tube replaced urgently as the longer I go without it the more malnourished I will become . I am already underweight so would be in a life threatening weight and with my cardiac and respiratory issues that is very dangerous. I would appreciate anyone who can share my page and will be so so grateful. You will not only be supporting me with my health but my ability to live my life again.
