If your symptoms are gone and you are able to eat enough to gain weight, maybe see if they can put it off for another week or so. Log your food and calories as proof.
A g-tube is difficult to place in the native stomach. It depends on how good of an endoscopist they have there. Other wise it needs to be surgical. Either way is same day or overnight stay depending on how complicated it is. The g tube is a last resort, but at least you can get in much more calories and you wont have to worry about dumping. How much weight do you want to gain??
I hope you can put it off and gain on your own.
