hey im kelsey, im 15 i'v had a g-tube since i was 4! i'v had it for so long i dont really know the difference! and up until about 7th grade (3 years ago) i was perfectly fine with it,
then i started getting really bad pains around my g-tube. i went to see a few diff doc's but none of them knew what it was. i think the worst part of that was when one of my cf doctors told my mom i probably just wanted attention and i was faking it! a few months ago they found out it was kinda like gallstones which isnt rare in people with cf.
if you want 2 talk or somtin email me soccerkels2010@sbcglobal.net
just a hint to anyone w/ a feeding tube, i found it really works if you get a big waterproof bandaid! it will cover the g-tube and it makes it not stick out as much!
and it really helps when you want to go swiming in a 2 piece!!
and if someone asks what it is and u dont feel like telling them i'v told some people it was a dog bite (kinda weird) but they just say "o ok"and leave it at that
