OK Michael, now youv'e done it you have brought up the dreaded "tube or not to tube" subject! (innocently I'm sure) You should know that there are quite a few here that did this without a PEG tube.

Another of many reason to try without the tube? As I recall you mentioned having a little extra size? Ask your doctor's if you could do this without the tube.

Just wait and see what reply messages this gets....Wheeee we havn't done this in a while. :p
