OP Patient Advocate (old timer, 2000 posts) Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | I have lost more weight and wonder why. I was switched to Jevity a few months ago to help with constipation. It really doesn't make things much different but I am now down to 125 lbs. Maybe it is the feeding tube that has been acting up. I go the 23rd of this montjh to have it changed again. The tube hurts constantly and leaks thru onto my shirts. As yothat have had or have a tube, the stench is terrible. It would run a dog off a garbage truck and maybe this is a resaon for the loss of weight. Any ideas??
Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April. --- Passed away 5/14/14, will be greatly missed by everyone here
