G tube

I am twelve days post op and I also have this G tube. I have been sick the entire time both in the hospital and at home. It appears these tubes just don't agree with me. The first tube in my nose was removed the day after surgery. The second tube was removed 5 days after surgery. I had some type of gas build up and it was so painful I was screaming. Once I got to the doctor he removed it and it seemed like I deflated. Now, I am so misrable with the G tube I can't walk across the room without being out of breath. I am in pain most of the time the only time it doesn't hurt is if I lay totally still and don't move. I am giving this two more days and then I will be asking my doctor to remove this one as well. I am crying all the time from depression. This is so very hard for me I just am overwhelmed with all the pain and sickness.
