Millie, I just wanted to let you know that not everyone has a "terrible"
experience with an NG tube, If it ever comes to that. I have had them a
couple of times and while it isn't the most pleasant thing, usually you are
in sooo much pain, that it isn't that bad as it did relieve the belly pain.
They told me to keep swallowing, I did, and it was over and done very
quickly. I hope this info relieves some of your anxiety about it. Pain free
hugs to you from Michigan!!
