Hi, I am disappointed I could not get the newer type PEG , but I can see it is just me. Since I have had my tube for almost 2 1/2 years, I should be glad I have never had any infections, they put dye in every time and it is always where it is suppose to be.Getting burpy after they change it has been the only problem. After they operate I am glad to have it with no hassle. I guess like Danny I will be glad to get rid of it, it sure does seem like forever sometimes. Someone said in a post one time about the troubles we go thru on a day to day basis, that it was the price we paid to be alive. I think of that often.
