NG Tube
Aug 18, 2010
The other day I read a post from someone who was in ER and even in spite of telling the staff that she could not have an NG (tube into the stomach) placed without special precautions. The tube was placed. She did not suffer from this procedure, but could have had major problems.As a courtesy to her and as a reminder for all of us. I copied her plea to everyone.
"My surgeon said NO ONE who have ever had any WLS should have a blind NG tube placed in them without being under a XRay machine or a Flora scope. Maybe this could spare someone else all the stress that it caused me and maybe even their life."
Share with others that we need to have special precautions because of the procedure we have had done on our stomachs. Thanks for your time. Getting off my soap box now. Hugs
