I had a peg tube installed week 6. It only took three hours, then I went right to rads. However it took 5 days to get. Thoses were 5 rough days. Eating felt like swollowing razor blades. I got it because I could not get the liquids or cal and my weight was dropping. That made the bad situation worse. I had it for 7 weeks. I struggled with feeding all the way through.

Its a tough call. It will make getting food in easier but if it is used to early and you stop swallowing its hard to get it back. Learning how to deal with it when your not a wreak might be a least worst option. However everybodies different. I would like to see some stats on how many got it but did not need it.
