in a nutshell, I've had GP for three years. I've lost heaps of weight. Been tube fed now over 2.5 years with various nj, j and pegs. Many problems with all of them and my first J nearly killed me perforating the bowel and turning me septic. Suffer from chronic pain as well. Now only work part time as a result but regularly in hospital. 15 major surgeries and 35 endoscopies so far. Happy to chat to any other sufferers.
