Back in December of 2000, I had surgery on my back for scoliosis (curved spine.) When the doctors gave me stitches, they closed up my duodenum. Thus, I puked up everything I ate. I had to stay in the hospital with a feeding tube down one nostril and a stomach acid pumping tube down the other nostril until the end of January, 2001, during which time I couldn't eat anything the old-fashioned way. That kinda sucked. I realized how many food-related commercials there are on television.
