Im so sorry that you are so uncomfortable but i can relate with what your going through. From how you are describing the tube it sounds like the one i had which is called an ng tube that goes into your stomach just to make sure any liquid in your stomach is sucked out. It was really uncomfortable for me too, it sucks hunny but you have to be strong. There is nothing wrong with crying i cried too. You have to be strong and understand that you'll be ok in a few days and it will all be over. No pain lasts forever, i'll be praying for you.

I was in the hospital for six days. Partially because i had my surgery done open with one long incision. I also had complications with the same tube you had and the fact that my blood pressure and temp wouldnt go down. Combined with the tube and the blood pressure med they gave me had me constantly coughing up never ending phlegm(so nasty) because my asthma reacted badly with the blood pressure med. I hope you feel better [=

Are you referring to me? Dont be scared, concentrate on the end game, a fews days of hypothetical discomfort cant compare to how great your future will be. If you are referring to me i had my surgery in Minneapolis, mn.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
