Well said Karen. Going PEG less is not medically suitable for everyone. Even those of us that did not require a ND or other potentially devastating oral surgery need to really discuss this PEG issue thoroughly with their docs and even seek the pros and cons from this site's users and non users. The PEG can certainly be an asset but it can also turn out to be a liability.
