>>> Working in the medical profession myself I know that the nurses at the internal medicine department are way better than at surgical wards (...). Why, I do not know.
I have been visited by two nurses from internal medicine so far. They are wonderful. The surgical nurses tell me they cannot touch the tube down my throat and leave me alone to wait a couple hours breathing as deeply as i could waiting for a surgeon. They cannot find blood veins as easily either. To them i look like some young healthy guy around many much older folks. Does anyone know if the NG Tube can be misplaced and pressing on an artery or my heart or something? I have a lot of difficulty breathing and it's not my stomach. It's the damn tube. I may need it in another 5 days. They took xrays today to see it it may have shifted. Not fun!
Nice BIBs Cheng. It's cool to see wires hang out like frankenstine

Hi Zilla - Good to see that you are getting better 
By "Baraka" do you refer to this character from Mortal Kombat" ? The staples in his chest are from the result of being split open..... Hmmm That sounds familiar seeing as my "zipper" goes from my throat to my stomach! 
Most nurses get sxxx from their patients all day - treat them with a little respect and kindness and you will find that it goes a long ways. Of course - being into martial arts you are already aware of such things.

Don't think so. Although you are too far away for a proper diagnosis I can tell you that gastric surgery directly affects the overlying diaphragm: that is what makes breathing quite difficult now. Hang in there for the few days it takes for your gastric sutures to become watertight. Life will become much better afterwards when it can safely be removed (just leave the damn thing in for that period).

pic 1 of tumor
hope it works.. it did.
That hole is supposed to be clear of obstruction. It's full of what looks like a sausage drooping from my stomach into the duadenum sp?
This is the top view... first doc missed this btw. Since this is at the very bottom of my stomach some other doctors feel he just didnt really finish his stomach search becasue all of the top and middle parts were fine.

passing the scope thru and looking back up at the tumor reveals its face. The size of the tumor has been described as two giant golfballs stuck together or about 2 inches diameter by 4 inches long. It was very thick and ulcerated. When i see this pic i want to say Hello! It's completely out of my body now and results show after sheredding it to bits that it's 100 % benign!

Here is the cut made to get this bad boy out.
I can get out of bed and in and out of a chair all on my own now. It's this NG tube keeping my from leaving hospital. It's been 8 days without food and the day before that was liquid diet only. I can nearly do situps but can't pass gas. I am very close to passing gas tho and ultimately, the doctors want to see a bowel movement before sending me home. Must make sure my stomach has woken up and that all the plumbing works. Waiting for wife to walk me one more time tonight then tuck me into bed. The vampires come in the night to take blood and give blood thinning shots and take vital signs. I am fine, just need to breath and eat again so i can get back to real life... and speaker building too of course!
