Home scared and frustrated

[Guest guest]

Well I am home from my appointment in Indy. The GI there is meeting

with Dr Lehman to see if we can get the surgery done without it

going into Pancreatis again. She told me that they don't want to do

the stenting right now because of the ERCP causing Pancreatis. She

is going to see what she can do. so right now we wait. If the pain

gets really severe I am to go to the ER and get things checked

into. They added an anti depressent to my list of meds. They are

keeping me on the tube feeds till the 12th of April because of the

nausea. They believe that I have lost all motility in my stomach

and they may have to place a permanent tube in the stomach. Has

anyone been on continuous feeds for a long period of time.

I have not been on tube feedings, but I sure have hung enough

of them. Do you have a G-tube or J-tube? Are you on a pump or bolus

feedings? I have taken care of patients in nursing homes that have

had tube feedings for years, it caused them no problems. It is also

a way of medication administration.

I have a a j tube and i was getting tpn feedings but they stopped it because it

made me worse and made me throw up alot! It is hard to get used to it. It takes

time. But youve been through so much dont let this little bump get to you. Its

better if you go npo and just use the feedings and let your stomach rest awhile.

Hope things work out keep me posted on how your doing and if you have anymore

questions Id be more then happy to answer or help you in any kind of way thats

the least I can do. -nicole

ps. Im sorry what is your name lol
