Nicki,
The PEG is not bad at all once you get used to it. I used to take walks, play golf and do just about anything else I wanted wearing my PEG.MD Anderson prescribed cans of metracal (sp.), which was made by the same company as Boost. I hung a nail on the wall at my office and I would just pull out my shirt, hang up the bag, and keep on doing what I was doing. Don't get me wrong, I was happy to see the thing go, but as it was I lost over 20 lbs. and,not being able to swallow, I don't know how I would have survived without it. It is also quite easy to dissolve pain pills and shoot them right in the tube.

Best of luck,
Danny G.
