Rachel Chew's Nightmare After Botched Gastric Bypass Surgery
Rachel Chew, a 38-year-old woman from West Midlands, England, embarked on a weight loss journey that turned into a nightmare three years ago. Desiring to look more attractive for her fiancé, Michael, she underwent gastric bypass surgery.
Post-Surgery Catastrophe
The surgery, performed in a private clinic and costing £7,000, initially seemed successful. However, 24 hours later, Rachel's health deteriorated severely. The surgeon had accidentally punctured her intestine during the procedure, causing an internal infection. She underwent emergency corrective surgery, but the wound remained infected and oozing pus.
Endless Operations
Multiple surgeries followed, but the wound refused to heal. As of today, Rachel has endured seven operations, yet the wound and drainage remain. A tube now protrudes from her abdomen, draining the intestinal contents into a container, which she has to carry with her everywhere.
Regret and Heartbreak
Rachel deeply regrets her decision to pursue surgery for aesthetic reasons. She misses the days when she and Michael could embrace freely without her wincing in pain. The container filled with her inflamed intestines has also dampened the romance in their relationship.
Undeterred Optimism
Despite the adversity, Rachel maintains a positive outlook. She believes that the situation is temporary and that one day the wound will heal. She imagines walking down the aisle in her wedding dress, the container discreetly hidden, and envisions the day as the happiest of her life.
