My tube was replaced with the same thing you are describing. If you are unable to sustain yourself with 3000 calories and 48oz of water per day then you need the tube. Its very similar to the peg tube with one handy exception. If you feel any nasuea, there is a bag that you can hook up to rid your stomach of whats bothering it. I actually like this better that the peg tube. I do have a tiny pinprick sized hole currently in mine so if you get this, request the most durable tubing otu there.
Please let us know what you decided.
