On my first go-round, I never really found a satisfactory method of securing the PEG tube to keep it from flopping around. I ended up hanging it from a shoelace tied around my neck, but this was not great and it irritated my neck after while, especially as I got into my radiation treatments.

For night, I made a band to go around my torso by cutting the sleeves and neck off of a ladies spandex top to make an elastic tube. This worked OK, but tended to slip down.

I expect to have the PEG tube in longer this time than the first time around. I welcome suggestions on keeping it secure and comfortable.

Thanks!
Roger
