Well, I had nausea and had a vomiting episode, and it came back up. I ended up with nausea, so far so good. I did get blocked for a few days, but I got unblocked and have been fine. Not much pain on this feed, but lots of wind, and I had a leak this morning. Not bloody had one of them for ages. Hopefully, I will find out my future plan on Monday. Thanks to everyone. 😀

I want to thank everyone for their suggestions, messages, and tips! So many have helped! We are learning as we go, learning the ins and outs of this bag. I have ordered special tape that does not irritate my skin and am now using Domeboro powder before putting on a new bag. My boyfriend says that my skin is so much less red!
Saw an ostomy nurse today; she said my boyfriend is doing everything right. One of my issues is that I am really thin, and my skin is really crinkly due to the surgery. We shall see how this bag goes.
This site is a real blessing. Everyone here is so awesome!

Nasal gastric tube, it draws out contents of the stomach via your nose, I believe. I've had them, but it's been a while...not very attractive or fun!

One of the worst experiences I've ever had! It just didn't want to go down, and I was choking and screaming between chokes, asking them to stop. 'It's almost there, hold on', the nurse said. No it wasn't! They finally got it down, but I felt like I'd been tortured for sure. My sympathy to anyone who goes through that!

Ng goes into the stomach and a nj goes further and has less chance of it coming back out and has worked so far.

Mine is for nutrition feed, not to draw stuff out, but to put stuff in. So far, so good. Hopefully, going home next week. Five weeks in the hospital is not good. xx

Nasal gastric tube goes in the stomach for feeding and goes past the stomach further and stays in better. 😀
