Ayrshire gran fears she'll die in her sleep whilst waiting for surgery after losing 10 stone in nine months
An Ayrshire gran fears she is going to die in her sleep after losing 10 stone in just NINE months during an agonising surgery wait.Kathy Allan, 58, is desperately pleading for an operation which will put an end to her misery, after having three procedures cancelled.The gran-of-six from Ayr, has dropped an incredible 12 dress sizes, going from a size 20 to a size eight, due to a stomach condition which has stopped her from being able to keep any food down.
Kathy was diagnosed with a massive hiatal hernia last October after a nurse raised a red flag at an appointment last summer.She was sent for tests where medics discovered she had a 10cm hernia which is causing a 4cm hole in her diaphragm which is putting pressure on other vital organs.
Kathy was immediately booked in for surgery to fix the condition which has left her dramatically shedding weight.But after being told for a third time that the surgery couldn’t go ahead, she now worries she won’t be here to see her grandchildren grow up.Kathy told Ayrshire Live: “I’m losing weight rapidly and nothing has been done about it.
I’ve dropped from a size 20 to a size eight since last June. I’ve gone from 17 stone to just below seven-and-a-half stone. It’s 10 stone and counting, I feel totally malnourished.“I want to eat but I can’t keep anything down.
