I just stumbled in....
I had an open rny and didn't have any g-tube either. I am assuming that is a drainage tube? I think my sister had one of those from her surgery. I had my surgery on July 21 and am down 30.5 lbs.
I am on normal foods and most everything goes down ok. Heavy foods are tough, especially in the morning, so I just am careful about breakfast and the rest of the day my pouch seems to be happy.
It's great to be on the losing side!
