Kyle, if you do decide to get a PEG, now or later, it is not a big deal. Outpatient, takes about 30 minutes, then another 30 for you to get clear headed enough to go home. Just a little sore for a couple of days, and daily swab around the entry point. Does not show under clothes, smell, or leak. Creative use of plastic wrap enables one to shower easily. A few people have reported negative experiences, but I believe by and large, it is pretty much a cake walk, as it was for me. Good luck!
