Don't worry about the "Tube." It's a precaution in most cases and is a good thing. When needed the tube became my "Best Friend" as it will with anyone who ends up not being able to take in enough nourishment to sustain themselves. It will be removed when you can show you can gain weight on your own again. Don't sweat it!
Best Wishes,
