Seeing as how I have avoided the tube so far, and finally putting a few pounds back on, I find this interesting. I am only 55lbs down right now and not the 70 that I was.

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.
