s/o feeding tubes
Did anyone see the Intervention episode where the chick was only using a feeding tube? I believe her name was Nicole, she even had a couple of kids and while consuming her food mostly through the feeding tube, and just couldn't stop. She was classified as having an eating disorder, because she had phobias about swallowing.
It was weeeeeeird. She would literally blend up the food in a blender, and there was a hole in her stomach where the tube contraption plugged in, almost like a machine. It was horrific yet fascinating to hear her story. Just curious if anyone else saw it.

heh, well to be honest this one was less gross than the bulimia girls who carry around bags of puke in their cars or hidden in their closets, or so my H admitted while watching this one. He doesn't like to watch the eating disorder ones, but this one about the feeding tube was way eye opening. You only saw the ground up food going IN, nothing coming out thank goodness.
It has to be a couple years old now, but the story was so haunting that it stuck with me. Those stories are real, which is the sad part of it, I realy hope that girl got help though because she was really messed up.
I saw that one!
She refused therapy about her swallowing issues and wouldn't give up the feeding tube, even though her doctors told her it couldn't stay in. She really flaunted it and would call attention to it whenever she could...it was really sad.
Yes, that's the one!
I do remember her chewing food at a family BBQ just to "fit in" and then she'd spit it out in a cup and her family members were pissed that she was "wasting the food" when they knew she wasn't even eating it. I kinda understood them, coming from a 'waste not' type of family background. It was very sad all the way around.
At the end of the all the episodes they usually will have a statement to say if the addict has recovered or relapsed and if there is a sober date, but there's no telling how often they update it for the re-runs.
I have seen two different follow-up Intervention shows where they did bring back a few of the addicts who had successful recoveries, so they do run those specials on occasion. There are only a fraction of the stories that get put on those, though, compared to how many Intervention episodes there have been total. I am always curious about which ones actually pull themselves up out of it and wish they would do more follow-ups!
