Have you considered getting a low profile feeding tube, commonly referred to as a "button"? Unlike the standard PEG with its long dangling tube, the button almost never gets dislodged or pulled out, can only fit in correctly instead of too deep or too shallow, cuts down if not eliminates granulation tissue, needs no clamps since a anti-reflux valve does not let it leak, and can be changed at home safely. I should have switched over years ago but my CCC's lack of experience with them and unwarranted fears of clogging the anti-reflux valve with all my crushed medicines and blenderized diet held me back.
If you do get a button, the AMT mini-one is much better than the Mic-Key one that is the default choice of hospitals due to marketing and contracts.
Glad you found us
