Feeding Tube

I had a question. I have had my tub for about 6 months now and am about to get the new tube the miicky soon but since it's been so hot I would like to go swimming. Is it ok to swim in a pool with the tube? I never really asked so I am not sure if it's ok or not or there has to be a certain amount of time first. Thanks guys! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">

Hi Nicole,

You can definetly swim with your tube. One style bathing suit that works really great with a g-tube is a tankini. You don't get any bulge in the area your tube is.

Thanks Susie. I went in the pool today and I just bought a new tankini so it worked out great. I got a little bit of a burn though but that's ok it's better than the pasty white I usually am! lol! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif" border="0">
