I noticed no-one had replied yet so I just wanted to stop by and share some information that we have on our website that will hopefully help your dad put on weight before his total gastrectomy.
We also have a section about stomach cancer which includes information about treatment so it may be worth having a look to find out more about the recovery process. Our cancer nurses are available during the week to answer any other questions you may have so do give them a call when you can. You can call them on 0808 800 4040, and their lines are open Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.
Finally, I thought I would put you in touch with [@freeflow] as they had a total gastrectomy earlier this year and may be able to help you and your dad prepare for what's to come.
I hope this all helps EnnX and I wish you dad all the best for his total gastrectomy in a few weeks time.
