I had the Nasal tube for approx. a week after surgery and I must say that for me it was the most uncomfortable irritating thing in the world. It kept getting kinked up in my stomache and was just all kinds of a pain in the ass. The PEG is not much fun either but after a while it is not so bad,just a nuisance. When I went to my therapist the last time she kept saying I was depressed because of marijuana use, I told her I was depressed because I hated the PEG and wanted to feel normal again. PEG came out, I started healing and eating again and what do ya know? Most of my depressions are gone, I am not on any meds and feel though the PEG helped me along it definately kept me a debbie downer.
