Hi Marina- My husband has had a peg since his September 07 surgery. He has still lost about 47 pounds and didn't need to lose any-he always had a slim build. I shudder to think what would have happened without the peg. He is on
Erbitux as a treatment now and will still have the peg until he gains some weight as the treatment makes him nauseous at times. He would love to get rid of it but it really has been a life-saver, literally.
I will be praying for you and your family. I have three children myself even though they are teenagers. Keep the faith, Sue
