I guess I came here way too late. It's NEVER worth it to get surgery for a small animal (rats, rabbits, guinea pigs etc) or an old animal (12 years plus and showing signs of ageing). Even when the surgery is successful, their quality of life goes down dramatically, and you'll see the animal in question drag itself across the rest of its pathetic life.
Having said that, don't take it to heart, OP. You did what you thought was best at the time, and Jake DID survive the surgery itself. Give him a nice shoebox burial, and once you're over the grieving process, maybe you could get another guinea pig.
