Anyway, I specifically asked about if there was such a thing as a J/G button and was told no. The nurses said they usually only see the button used with children and they parents usually bring the button in to have it replaced. I referenced you and said that your wife changes your after the doc taught her how and they said yes that can be done. Of course we already knew that! Wonder why they told me there was no such thing as a J/G button. Guess it wouldnt be able to be changed at home since the 2 tubes go to different places.
PS...Didnt mean to hijack the thread. Im discussing alternate feedings tubes and the differences between them.
