Kyle,

I also went thru Tonsil without a PEG. It was difficult, lost 30+ lbs, had to be hydrated a few times, but was way ahead in recovery. It added to the anxiety and was freightening near the completion, but worked for me. My docs wouldn't treat without, but I managed to slip thru the crack. The Doc that was scheduled to put it in had to leave early that day...and I never got back to him.... Worst case you could always add it. Good luck and all my best.

Regards,
Rob J
