Depends on material and thickness. A steel rod, (or even a lighter hollow pipe) with a quarter inch diameter (6.35 mm) as I described it would be pretty sturdy. A weight lifter could likely bend it, but if you need to apply the bending force with the injured part of your food pipe, just where it passes your diaphragm, I think the steel rod would have a tendency to remain pretty straight.
If it's solid steel you'd need way over 100 kg (~200 pounds) of force to bend it, that's more than Tatjanas weight.

Actually she could probably be lifted up by someone lifting the rod from the ends, like a pig on a spit and carried around helplessly ;) I bet she'd like that!
