I was wondering if anyone has gotten a g-tube and what problems they had at first. I just got mine and it popped out within the first 2 weeks because the site never healed. It just made a bigger hole and caused a lot of pain and now it is oozing (gross I know) and no one can figure out what to do. All the docs are perplexed because they have never seen this before. I guess all my organs behind my stomach are pushing it out when I cough and they don't know how to get it to stay in. I had a GI nurse stop by today and she said the skin looks good now and it could start to turn around but there does seem to be something funny about it. Anyone have any suggestions or similar problems??
