I just can't stand not getting in on the WRATH OF PEG or NOT TO PEG!! eek

I believe I may be the only truly qualified person that can speak on both sides of the PEG. I had a PEG and when I used it, I usually puked up everything about as soon as I was done. It worked good for meds and fluids but ultimately I had to use TPN feedings and 3 bags of fluids a day for months to maintain hydration and nutrition. Looking with the knowledge I have, would I get a PEG or not? Absolutley I would do it again. It came in hand often and when I did use it, there were no alternatives available.
