Jim: Glad to hear you are feeling better. I know what ya mean. I had FIVE hiatal hernia surgeries and the WORSE part of the pain was the gas pains. I asked my doc why did that hurt so bad and he said "cause we had your liver flopped out over here, and your pancreas flopped out over here, and your stomach out over here, and your intestines laying just all over and when we shove all the intestines back in, then staple you up, it traps gas in there and only walking the hallway to work the gas out is all we can do for you. That was the worse pain I have EVER been in. And I has thee ol Nasogastric tube as well, and when they pulled that thing about after a cpl days, like you said, it hurt like hell too. This may be gross to some, but the dried snot "glues" that tube to your esophagus, your nose, the back of your throat etc, and they have to "break it loose". Then, it seemed like that nurse pulled at least 50 FEET of hose outta my nose ROFL... So, I feel your pain man, and it's nooooo fun, Chuck

He has me taken to xray where hey found the twist. Back to my room and I was told that they had to put a hose down my nose tounblock the twist. Again, HE SAID IT WOULD NOT HURT! - He lied.
