hi
Has anyone concidered or had the button type fitting ( cant remember the proper name!) instead of the conventional dangling tube type PEG? We requested this and the Dr could not really get his head around the fact that a 39 year old woman may have a concern over body image. The nurse however was right there with us. We understand that the button type is given for permanent placements but there does not seem to be any reason that it couldnt be used temporarily. Cost is probably a consideration?? or do you know differently?????
Best wishes to all Frances and her sister Meryl
