I had my 2 week follow up with Dr. Rasmussen today. My weight was down 3 pounds. He asks how things are going and I tell him. Probably not the whole truth but this tube has got to come out. It has been 12 weeks of Hell and I don't want to participate in this game anymore. He asks if I think I can maintain my weight or if the tube needs to be in longer. I tell him that I want the tube out and he has to give me a shot at this. So...he agrees to take out the tube!! Yippee!
That was quite the experience. It was just as painful taking it out as putting it in. I felt it slither all the way from my throat to my intestines. I gagged more with it coming out then I did when it was put in. My intestines squirmed and made all sorts of lovely noises. I forgot they made noise! That tube was definitely nasty! Nothing like funky colored slime.
Dr. Rasmussen wants to see me again in a month to see how things are progressing. If I can't maintain a weight then I am sure I will be in trouble again! For now I just need to focus on eating and not losing much weight before then. Oh happy day!!
