So if I am going to be getting this stupid g-tube at the end of May (still on the fence about it though) I want to ask, generally how much weight people have gained having them in? And how long it took? I will be the first to say I am not a patient person and I really want to see some quick results. I know it may sound selfish and kind of juvenille but I am getting part of my hope/acceptice of this g-tube from the fact that it might help me get my curves back, I miss my boobs and my butt and I'm tired of looking like a twelve year old boy (no offense to twelve year old boys... work what you got <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">) I'm lookin to up the numbers and I'm just curious? Please message me if you get a chance. <img src="i/expressions/heart.gif" border="0">

hey,
I have had my g-tube for 14 years now...When I first got it I put like 30 lbs on in a few months....but nothing since then...I still am 20 lbs under weight and no matter what I do I can;t gain...I don't lose weight with the g-tube now..but again I cant gain...the g-tube is very useful when you are sick and dont feel like eating much.

You can regulate how many calories you get and how often you do the feedings. My older son has gained steadily over four years with nightly feeds and supplements. My younger son gained a ton (too much really) right away so we backed off on the frequency and consistancy of his feedings.

I gained about ten pounds in a month or two. I have pretty much stopped gaining. I would have to add more cans of tube feed to probably gain more but since I am doing 3 can's per night, that is about my max. I would have gained weight quicker but I was sick after they put the tube in.
It does keep you from losing too much weight when you are sick.
