Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 10,507 Likes: 8 | To my surprise, my old j tube was an 18. Today I had a new one put in. When I told my doc I wanted a 16, not to give me a crappy one like I was getting rid of. The doc looked at me smiled, then he said "My dear, you had an 18 all along". It only lasted 2 months before I started having problems with it. Its really not a big deal to have your tube changed. Mine was a bit messed up somehow it was all wrapped around in my stomach. I know it sounds funny. Its a great feeling having a new tube
