I had my open RNY on Aug. 8, 2003.When the operation began, the doctor found a

malignant tumor. he did cancdr surgery for the first hour and a half, then proceeded with the RNY. Afterward, he put in a G-TUBE that sticks out of my abdomen and is sued for giving medication into the transected portion of my stomach (not the small pouch stomach) Has anyone else had to have a G-TUBE. How long did they leave it in? Thanks for any support you guys can give me. The whole thing is kind of scary, what with the tumor, which the doctor thinks he got all of, but i have to see an oncologist anyway. Then, to have this rubber tube sticking out is pretty gross, too.
