G. Prasad, 49, was first diagnosed with Crohn's disease in 2018. After years of managing with medication, his condition has worsened significantly. He is now unable to tolerate solid food — every attempt to eat causes severe cramping abdominal pain around his navel.
The inability to eat has caused rapid, significant weight loss and extreme weakness. CT imaging reveals multiple intestinal strictures, active inflammation, and a high-grade partial small bowel obstruction involving the distal jejunum and proximal ileum.
During his September 2026 hospitalization at AIG Hospitals, Banjara Hills, the surgical gastroenterology team explained the critical need for surgery. Doctors have planned a diagnostic laparoscopy and bowel resection — with or without a stoma, depending on what is found during surgery.
The follow-up note from AIG Hospitals states clearly: "Urgent hospitalization required. Plan exploratory laparotomy and proceed." Time is critical.
