My husband has only had his Peg for two weeks, but I can tell you that the pump has made a big difference for him. He just can't have a whole lot of anything put into his stomach at one time, or he starts throwing up. The pump is really easy to use, and it gets almost 2000 calories in him overnight at a very slow rate. He has to sleep in a recliner to avoid reflux, but he sleeps better there than in bed right now anyway.
Good luck!
