Has anyone in the group had a g-tube put in?

[Guest guest]

Hi, I've been at this page for a while, but I mainly read all your

posts and get informed. I am 10 months post op and 30 weeks pregnant,

and I was told by my OB this morning that he thought it was best if

my surgeon put the g-tube back in to feed me since I was not getting

enough nutritients by mouth, and in fact I keep dropping pounds

fairly quickly. I've been quite ill with the vomiting, stomach

cramps, and all that sort of nuisance. On some days I'm able to hold

my food down OK, but there are days where nothing stays down.

Supposedly since I only have 10 more weeks to go and this is the

period where the baby really grows and needs alot of nutrition my OB

decided to agree with my surgeon (who by the way wanted to do this 2

months ago), and suggested I go ahead and have the g-tube in to get

the proper nutrients. Has anyone else had this procedure? I'm VERY

worried about this, to add to the stress of having a third child, now

I have to worry about her being born with muscle/skeletal, growth

retardation because of the lack of nutrition. I hope someone can

answer my question.

Thanks,
