Guest guest Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 Hi Jen I don't know who told you the stay was a month they are crazy.My 19 yr old w/cf had his tube put in 6 yeras ago and he was out of the hospital 3 days after them putting the tube in.If they are talking about doing a nissen along with the tube that usually takes a week.We had a bad time with my 6 year old she was 7/8 months old when she had her tube put in she also had some complications(not related to the tube) which turned a 7 to 10 stay into 27 days ..I think the older the kid the easier it is for them.My son has had cf related liver problems since birth(he was born with meconium illeus and during the surgery they cut lots of veins to the liver).Have they tried Megase it is a female hormone that increases the appetite and the side effects can be breast growth my son took it for a while and he did gain to over 100 pounds .It comes in a liquid no shots just swallow it .BeckyB.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2003 Report Share Posted July 11, 2003 Hi, One month for g-tube and Nissan fundoplication surgery? Not at all I must have missed that part of the Original post. My daughter was in for only a week. Her doc wanted her on IV antibiotics for 2 days prior to the surgery to fend off anything that was happening. We were out 5 days after fundo surgery and g-tube placement.
