Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 I never had an NG tube or anything else in my nose or throat. I had two JP Drains in my abdomen that came out before I left the hospital and a urine catheter for the first night after surgery. What's the purpose of the NG tube anyway?

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2001 Report Share Posted November 12, 2001 Hey Carol, I see you are doing the see sawing thing like I am! Laughing...it doesn't get better, it just gets different. From daytime to night time, my thoughts are all over the place. I'll tell you one thing. NO ONE will take my place next monday. I may be shaking in my boots, but I am gonna be there! As for the NG tube, my doc said I will wake up with no tubes or drains in me, period, except for a catheter. I think every single doc is different!

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 Im having my surgery on 11/19. I questioned Dr Macura about the ng tube because of the nasal mask I use for the CPAP machine. He says that they are taken out after the operation. He finds that the tubes do not do the job after surgery Stamm Dr MAcura 411 lbs Post OP 11/19 > > In a message dated 11/12/01 5:35:16 PM Eastern Standard Time, > > duodenalswitch@y... writes: > > > > << Why do we have to have an NG tube (the nose one?)

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2001 Report Share Posted November 13, 2001 , I used a CPAP also and used the type of mask that only covered the nose. Dr. Macura didn't take out the NG tube until the day after surgery. So in the Recovery Room the nurses had to send for the full mask (covers nose and mouth) because I couldn't fit the other mask over the NG tube. Unless Dr. M has changed his routine and takes the tube out immediately, just ask the nurses for the full mask.
