Surgeons remove teen's stomach after she drinks liquid nitrogen cocktail Oct 8th 2012, 15:20 A teenager needed a life-saving operation to remove her stomach after drinking a cocktail laced with liquid nitrogen. Gaby Scanlon, 18, was rushed to hospital after downing two 'Nitro Jagermeister' drinks.  Surgeons found she had a perforated stomach — and feared she would die unless they removed it. Her parents were at their daughter's bedside at Royal Lancaster Infirmary, where she is "serious, but stable." The chemical creates a smoky "dry ice" effect. Although her pals suffered no ill-effects, Scanlon, from nearby Heysham, began to feel breathless. She then had severe stomach pains and was rushed to hospital at 11pm. Lancashire police said an investigation was under way and added: "Medical opinion is that this would have proved fatal had the operation not been carried out urgently. "The premises involved have suspended drinks involving liquid nitrogen." Click here for more on this story from The Sun.
