Nasal tubes are for short term use. PEG's are for long term. The delivery of food either way is the same, but who the hell wants to walk around with a bunch of tubes hanging off your face for months....... PEG for anything longer than 10-14 days is the way to go. Simple, efficient, and completely concealable when you go out in public, which by the way, is part of getting well again, not hanging around the house. There is mental healing too and getting out in the world again is part of that process.
