For me was no big deal, except in the hospital when I was on a 14hour pump system, and I threw everything back, once I used a syringe and fed myself every 3-4 hours I was fine.. Now that is just my take on the PEG. Please do a search on this site and talk to your hubby's Docs, try and get as much advice as possible I'm sorry that you had need to find us but stay with us we don't bite Sunshine... love and hugs Helen
