I too had many problems from the PEG tube, mostly infections due to stiches the doctor put in to hold it in place. After the stitches were taken out I used tape to hold it in place. I agree the feeding tube should be the last thing you have to worry about. Keep bugging your doctors. I'm having no problems now after 8 months.
