So I have had a surgically placed j tube for about 3 years, but last Thursday the balloon failed and the tube was coming out, I pushed it back in and saw my surgeons office on Friday. They were willing to replace the tube but I had been having a ton of problems with it so we ultimately decided to remove it and let the area heal deciding that short term I would have an NJ placed. This has been an extreme battle to get but finally after going without any nutrition throughout the weekend I’m scheduled to get the NJ tomorrow. What should I know about having an NJ vs the J tube? Anything I should do to prepare for this change? Any advice is appreciated.
