I never had a PEG. But to be honest, there were times where I wished I'd have had one. I'm pretty stubborn. Okay, I'm really stubborn, sometimes a good thing I guess, and I just made up my mind that I was not going to have one. My RO threatened me with it a few times, but I managed through and didn't lose much weight. It was a matter of wills.
