Jejunostomy Feeding Tube Advice Needed

I've been told I am having a feeding tube. Any advice, please? I am very used to having to get used to different things, so I can tolerate quite a bit, and our pain threshold gets stronger the more you have done, I think. So, not a mardy, but I am a bit nervous. Comments, please.

G-Day kerrycookie95,

Will your J-tube be through your nose or your tummy? You have already said you can handle most things, so let's hope this is not for too long. Have they said how long you will have the J-tube?

Mine was called a g-tube. It was put straight into the stomach many years ago.

Make sure the doctors surgically attach it to your skin. "Rope it around and stitch."

Otherwise, it will pop out.

Ask how I know that? 😆..

If you're not faint of heart, you can reinsert it yourself.... (gulp) otherwise, off you go to the nearest E.R. to have it done.

No, not yet. They haven't said how long it will be for, but I am wasting away. They said it would be like I was before, so I'm going to be a good girl and do what I need to. xxx

Sending you good vibes your way for it all to work out for you.

Regards, IGGIE
