Hi, Kristie. It's not a breathing tube they will be cautious about. It's the NG tube. That's a naso-gastric tube that goes through your nose and into your stomach. You can still have one (and may, after surgery), but they don't want people putting those in without knowing where and how small your stomach is. They aren't changing your throat or your lungs, so a breathing tube would be the same as before surgery. Good luck! Jeanie
