He had no nausea until they inserted the peg a couple of months ago.He has also had problem with technical aspects of the peg (like it coming out). His partner is a nurse so they have tried different methods of delivery and see the surgeon and dietician. He has seen the "gastro" puzzled but they are puzzled - will do some thinking and get back to him.
They prefer to use the pump because that HAS led to weight gain in spite of the nausea and he doesn't want to give up on the peg yet.
Have you seen patients give up on the pump or give up on the peg if they can?
