I'll be having a total gastrectomy, aka complete stomach removal, in March, because I have a stomach completely full of polyps, a family history of fatal GI cancers and a gene mutation that causes GI cancer. The possibility that the polyps will become cancerous is astronomically high. I'll also have a J-tube for medicine and food post surgery. I'm looking to find someone that has gone through this, or had a J-tube for any reason!

      hello! I just had a J tube put in for gastroparesis both for surgery recovery (pyloroplasty) and the possibility that the surgery fails (I have no motility in my stomach.) I’m new to this but if you need any advice or idea what it’s like living with one you can always PM me! good luck with everything, you’re not alone ❤️
