Post Op VSG now with feeding tube (NJ)

I am curious if anyone else has experienced what I am going thru now.

I had my Sleeve on 03/04/16 since than i have been unable to hold down any fluids. I was discharged Tuesday 03/08/16. Only to be readmitted for dehydration since I am throwing Everything up.

My readmission date was Friday 03/11/16 and i am still here.

While here i have had a egd with dilation with attempt to open up narrowing in stomach. However after this procedure still couldnt keep fluids down. Finally my surgical team state i need a NJ tube. This was placed this past friday. They also found a twist so they did another dilation.

So now i am here depressed and uncomfortable with a feeding tube.

Has anyone gone through this? I feel so alone

If so how long till the tube came out and you were able to eat & drink on own?

Any feedback would be valuable

Thanks

Caridad
