I would like to hear your opinion on the type of PEG tube you like. The tube type with a long tube or a skin level button? Mine was put in during an endoscopy, so I have no balloon and I have the long tube hanging out . Do they just pull these out and insert the balloon type? I also blend my food. Will that make a difference on the type? I think I would like to have the button. Any thoughts?


15 year survivor of tonsil cancer. In 2002 I was diagnosed with Stage III squamous cell carcinoma. I had a left neck dissection, teeth removed, and 38 radiation treatments. In 2015 I received a feeding tube and in 2016 a trach, both due to radiation side effects. But I'm happy to say that life has been good to me!!
