first time caregiver here.. thanks for sharing this video

I had one for over two years. It was 21 inches long. Took me eight months to find a GI to change it to a button. I used to have granulation and pain. I think it’s ridiculous to have a tube dangling there. Can’t go swimming and laying flat is painful. Exercising was also limited. Now I can swim, exercise and lay flat with no problem.

Wow, I never thought it hurt. No wonder my mom took it off

I have to learn how to do this because my mother has a closed esophagus from cancer. I wanted to see it before the nurse demonstrates it. It's a big help. Thanks

[@mrsveronicanickey]

She didn’t clean the area before putting the ointment.

I was told to use body temperature fluids. Cold fluids shocks the stomach and slows down digestion.

I have a J Peg Feeding tube in my stomach. I've had mine now since February 7th of this year. I usually have 3 of the siranges ready with water in them to flush my feeding tube out.

This man is smart!

[@mourningwarbler]

Since the tube is not clear, you can't see the debris accumulating on the inside. The nurses said to use gauze, but the written instructions said not to.

[@tinadix62]

Very educational thank you!!

[@PINAYUKVLOG]

I wonder how is he now? My mum had the same problem

[@dinodaniels6309]

Yeah I was blown away at how simple and easy removing my tube. It took about 30 seconds if that.

[@reneebentley2804]

[@britakin66]

@@pluto9403honestly! Got it in September and I’m always in pain it’s ridiculous. I can’t walk, lay down or my stomach or even stretch. It hangs out my stomach and hurts
