Hey guys, what's an ET nurse? Is this irrigation stuff the same as having an enema? I had a chat with another surgeon who says this way, you can move without the pouch. I dismissed it as my own surgeon never said anything about irrigation... Are we talking of the same thing here? And what's that irrigatin group?

well the ET nurse, Gave me an irrigation kit. I think I am using to much water. I was doing it at night and not having output for the whole next day. But yesterday, my stomach hurt so bad and got really really bloated. I was also very sick, and had output all day and all nite. I think I might have a bug. Really Really gassy. I also get sick everytime I do it. I am not sure if its from the smell or what?? LOL I have been reading the post in the irrigation forum and I am going to try tonite and use less water. I have just read all I can on irrigation. And I have learned that there is not a single
nosey question when it comes to this stuff. Regan
