I need better information on EMPHYSEMATOUS GASTRITIS . How do you live with it once your STOMACH is REMOVED?

MY BROTHER JUST HAD EMERGENCY SURGERY 3 DAYS AGO. HE HAD HIS STOMACH AND GALLBLADDER REMOVED. HE IS 55 YEARS OLD. HIS DIAGNOSIS WAS EMPHYSEMATOUS GASTRITIS. I CANNOT FIND WEB SITES THAT TELL YOU HOW TO LIVE WITH THIS. WHAT IS HIS SURVIVAL RATE NOW? IS THERE A WEB SITE THAT YOU CAN BUY FOOD FOR HIS CONDITION? RECIPES? ARE THERE ANY SURVIVOR STORIES OR A SITE YOU CAN TALK TO OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE THIS CONDITION? I ALREADY HAVE ALL THE MEDICAL JARGON EXCEPT FOR THE ACTUAL PROCEDURE OF THE STOMACH REMOVAL. HOW WAS IT DONE? WILL HE KNOW WHEN HE IS HUNGRY? HIS ESOPHEGUS IS NOW CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO HIS LOWER INTESTINE. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO RECOVER? ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS? PLEASE HELP ME UNDERSTAND WHAT HE IS GOING THROUGH AND HOW THIS AFFECTS HIM FROM NOW ON. IF IT HELPS HE WAS AN ALCOHOLIC AND A SMOKER FOR OVER 30 YEARS UNTIL RECENTLY.I need better information on EMPHYSEMATOUS GASTRITIS . How do you live with it once your STOMACH is REMOVED?
