Should I try and have my feeding tube removed?!
Question: Should I try and have my feeding tube removed.?
I got my tube June 15 2007, I used it correctly for about 8 months and off and on for a few more after that and I gained a total of maybe 5 pounds, I am a martial artist, my mother's side of the family is all very skinny, I have a high matabolism because I have Cystic Fibrosis on top of the activeness and the family history so I see no futher point in having the tube I stopped using it all together so now it's just "there" and I'm tired of it.Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Depends on where the feeding tube is.
If it is one passing through your nose, yank it out.
If it from above your stomach to inside your stomach directly, leave it.
It is doing no harm, as soon as you get ill for whatever reason your CF will 'flare up' they will need to feed you supplements and you wil be glad you had in it as it will speed your recovery, and make taking the meds easier
The martial arts will not hurt it, just pad it and tape it down.
