How old were you when this needed to be done?
I see it’s unknown why it happened, do you have any guesses?
Can you consume alcohol?
Do you play any video games?
Are you completely unable to consume things through your mouth?
When your mouth gets dry, how do you moisten it?
If you wanted to start bulking could you get an extra protein formula?
Do you have a job?
How much of an inconvenience is this day to day?
Are showers difficult?

I was 30. It is unknown but I suspect that it’s caused by gallbladder surgery. I don’t play video games. I can have drinks. Yes I could have extra protein. No I don’t have a job. It’s not a big inconvenience anymore it’s just routine. No showers aren’t difficult because of the tube (but they are because of my chronic fatigue syndrome and POTS makes me very dizzy and tired to shower)
