She,
Just to throw in another PEG response, I only kept mine for about 6 weeks following Tx. I was bound and determined to get rid of the thing as I hated it so much. I believe this attitude also helped me to get back to eating by mouth quicker than would have happened otherwise. I lost about 6 to 8 more pounds after it was removed but then bottomed out. It took about 4 months post PEG to start putting a little weight back on.
