Long time OCF readers may be surprised at my answer here, but yes,if you are going to need a feeding tube and cannot swallow enough for nutrition, I found the PEG to be easier to deal with than the nasal tube. BTW, I have had a nasal tube, a PEG, and now a button so as far as G tubes go, I've had them all. When I had my temporary trach, the nasal tube interfered with my spitting up the mucous or more accurately coughing/blowing it out the trach hole/stoma.
But if you end up with the tube longer than 6 months, switch to a button. It's not really "surgery" to put in a PEG although the hospitals and doctors bill the insurance company that way. Think of it more like a stomach piercing.
Hope you ditch all tubes soon
