If anyone can pull this off, it will be you. I can understand your concern about stomach surgery over and above regular PEG placement. Is getting a combination J tube and G tube (as I believe Christine has) an alternative possibility. I just have the plain old "G" tube which goes directly into my stomach - it just not a PEG because it's not inserted with an endoscope (the E in PEG). A J tube though goes to the small intestine . They are both feeding tubes. Christine would know the ins and outs of a J tube about which I am clueless except for knowing it's name and destination [ from jejunostomy or into the intestine (jejunum = part of the intestine]. Can't hurt to ask your doctor
