My PEG is in place and I am using a syringe with Jevity 1.5. All is going well ~ my body is quite pleased to have nutrition and hydration!

Charm, I do have a Therabite and it is a great device. Tongue depressors have also worked well for me. The Oley Foundation is terrific for guidance and ideas from members. Like OCF Oley shows us that "one size does not fit all." What works for one may not work well for another, but there are lots of suggestions from those who are walking the enteral feeding path.

Christine, thanks for the information about the trial. The closest location is in the mid-West, but it sounds like a good trial. I will have speech therapy and Vita Stim here in the Phoenix area.

Marianne, make sure your HBO doctor or oral surgeon/ENT surgeon is supportive of your use of a Therabite or tongue depressors to increase your mouth opening. My docs did not want me to stretch my mouth until my osteoradionecrosis had improved. When a pan X-ray showed improvement I began stretching again.
