I wanted to let everyone know that the surgeons finally agreed to a low profile MicKey button. I have had it for just over a month. To date I find it far superior to the MicKey with the long tube. The surgeon warned my wife after my throat dilation and the placing of the MicKey Button that he only did it because I insisted but that it would be "problems". This he said when he never had put one in before.
This little button is easy to use, does not get caught when I roll over in bed or play golf, seems more hygiene and guess what-I now swim with a waterproof patch.
If anyone is considering a MicKey low profile I highly recommend.
