What French do you have for draining?
If you’ve had multiple could you explain the differences between them in how well they worked and what you were able to drain from them?
I have a 16-French G tube that’s only for draining (they tried to place a 20, but couldn’t get it in. Which makes sense since I was a 14 at that point).
It drains okay, but there are times I wish it was easier.
I have to sit in certain positions or bear down and hold my breath to encourage it to come out. (I can’t use a syringe to draw back it vacuums the tube shut). And if anyone is wondering I have a dangler, not a button, which is actually my preference.
I don’t eat food. So all that needs to come out is stomach contents and liquids on rare occasions.
I haven’t wanted to go up in size, but I don’t know exactly why lol. Maybe just because I hate change 😅 but I’m getting my tube changed soon so it’s been on my mind.
