Okay- Update. My second PEG installed April 2, 2009 has now started to leak big time. I have taped it up with waterproof white surgical tape and will be calling Monday to get a replacement. The life of this PEG was just over 9 months. The leak is near the stoma so no room to cut it off as suggested.
This time I intend to ask for a mic-key button of at least 20 FR as I am awaiting my VitaMix so I can start eating healthy again. The Jevity is just corn maltodextrin and corn syrup solids and if that is healthy than every nutrition book I have read or even heard about on Cancer is wrong.
