My husband is six weeks post IMRT and has had the PEG for eight weeks. He is able to eat small amouts of food, but has no appetite. How much of the no appetite is the nutrition from the PEG or just the loss of appetite. He is getting all his nutrition from the PEG 2800+ calories. He wants the PEG out next week when we go back to Houston, but we aren't sure about how to proceed. Do you wean yourself off the PEG by eating more foods? Any ideas on procedure? Do you bite the bullet and get it out and force yourself to eat? Ideas, please
