Hi Ellen:

I had a PEG tube, but they went in through my stomach, so not sure what kind you're referring. There are quite a few members who did go through their entire procedures without any feeding tube, and I'm sure you'll be hearing from them when they read your post. Good luck with whatever you two decide.
