    Medical Emergency?

    Discussion in 'The Lounge' started by Link the Writer, Dec 31, 2017.

    OK, so long story short, I had a G-tube in my stomach for my whole life. It has just fallen off.

    I trust the hole will close up eventually?

    Remember that doctor you were going to talk to about your alcohol issues? If you haven't done that yet, congratulations, you now have TWO serious reasons to get your ass to a medical professional!

    The alcohol intake, I’ve gotten under control.

    As far as this? The doctors told me that the wound will close on its own. Just need to take my time and take it easy.

    We weren't telling you to go to the doctor for help with your alcohol intake, we were telling you to go to a doctor for help with your alcohol reaction.

    But it sounds like you've already been in contact with medical professionals on the G-tube issue, so... good. Trust doctors who know you over random people on the internet!

    My hole is on the mend. :D It’s smaller than it was Sunday. The only real issue is making sure I still have skin around the area, as it’s all raw and cracked from the dryness and stomach acid. :(

    Stoma hole has gotten smaller. No burning for the past two days, and outside one spurt, no leakage.
