Hi,
Apparently my husband has some enlarged blood vessels in the area around where the PEG was to be inserted. Luckily they found it before they went in so now he is being told that we might have to have a more advanced procedure where they can look while they are guiding it in instead of just going through the esophagus. So he asked his doc if he really needs to have it. Doc said that he would just have to keep eating but "it is not pretty" because he would lose a great deal of weight. Anyone gone through this without a PEG? If so any advice? We are going to talk to the specialist about it this week. Just wondering.
