hey ther,

i had my peg for about a year after treatment. during that period i had 9 months of eating theropy... still eating was difficult, so after another 8 months i had my esophagus streatched twice... it went from the size of a toothpic to about the size of a nickel. eating is much easier now, but i still need sauces and prefer things that don't require awhole lot of chewing. i eat everything is sight.

during the peg period, i went thru 100 cases of 24 cans of ensure and maintained my weight just fine. that works well when we need it.

the docs hadn't allerted me to the eating thing and i had expected to be eating 2 weeks after treatment.. boy was i surprised.

cu,
