So my girlfriend has umbilical sepsis and the doctor is requiring intensive surgery but she doesn't want to get surgery and always cancels the surgeons appointments is there any way I can give my consent and for her to be put under forced anesthesia because I don't know what to do.

The patient has to give consent after the doctor has fully explained the operation, known complications etc. Nobody can force a patient for surgery. Post consult a surgeon who can explain properly.
