I am scheduled to have a G-Tube put in on Friday. I have heard people talking about a PEG on this site. Are they the same? What's the difference? I was supposed to have a special appointment with the surgeon three days prior to getting the G-Tube, but he canceled. His nurse said the doctor will talk to me before the surgery. I am afraid of not getting enough information and then being sent home on a Friday afternoon. My partner is great about stuff like this and I know she will be helpful, but we aren't nurses and have to be told how it all works. The following week we are meeting with a nurse to be shown how to use and clean it, but between Friday and that appointment? I really don't want this G-Tube. Really don't. Are there people who went through 7 weeks of radiation without it? Do I have a choice in the matter? -Michelle
