Celtie's having another surgery!
I don't have experience with that particular procedure, however I did want to wish you the very best results and a smooth recovery. I hope this helps with the many problems you've had.

Hi Celtie. I have never had one myself but I have taken care of plenty of people with one. It is a very simple device. Basically liquid food and water are just "poured in" using an infusion pump or by gravity. Medications can be crushed and put in there too if needed. It is easily reversible once you are taking in nutrition by mouth. I understand you are afraid but try not to be. Please keep us updated when you can. Thinking of you.

for the good wishes. It's so encouraging to have people behind you in tough times.
Celtie, glad you got some reassurances.
“Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”― Marc Hack

Dearest OH Friends,
Your well wishes and encouragement mean the world to me. It's reassuring to know that there are folks out there that understand all the fears and
challenges. I am grateful for each and every one of you and wish you all well on your unique journeys.
All the best and "see" you all in a few days,
Celtie
