I have been fighting illnesses for over ten years. I was hospitalized at least once a year in California with no answers from doctors. My sister finally brought me back home to Montana. I've been back for a year and have managed to put some weight back on and find amazing Drs and specialists. They have decided, after looking at All options, surgery is the best thing for my health and a little fe without chronic pain. They will do the surgery in Portland where they have more experience in these kind of surgeries. They will be taking out damaged tissue in my stomach and fixing some blocked arties and repairing damage done from internal bleeding I had last year. Hospital stay is about a week then I can come home to finish my recovery. I need help with traveling expenses and 20 percent of my medical bills. I am scared and excited to finally have a chance at a real life without chronic stomach pains
