You do not have to be put to sleep to get a feeding tube. If you want a PEG, then you should get it. While I vigorously defend a poster's decision not to get a PEG and that was my personal choice the first time around, you should make the feeding tube choice on what's best for you and what matters to you. It's always easier to agree with your doctor.
Again, I have been wide awake now for over 10 feeding tubes inserted even the first one that was done in "surgery" with a fluoroscope. They can give you a sedative but you don't have to be" put to sleep "(ooh, I hate that term, sounds like when the vet puts an animal down).
