Benefits and Risks of Feeding Tubes

Do you know which type of tube?

A G or gastric tube goes to your stomach. I use it for draining and venting. A J goes into your small intestines into your jejenum. That's where I get fed. My type of tube goes into one stoma but has two different extensions into me. One Into my stomach and one Into my jejenum.

I have a GJ feeding tube. The biggest aspiration risk is more with G-tube than J if you feed through them. I'm J tube fed though. It helps if you sleep at a slight incline but with a J it's not as important. My feeding tube has helped me so much and given me my life back. Much love.

I have a peg-j tube and it's given me my life back and I would have died without it
