Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 2,019 | I have had my current PEG for almost two years and no sign of it falling out. My doc has basically said I should try to keep it in for as long as I can. There are different kinds of PEGs that are anchored in the stomach slightly differently from what I understand. I ahve enver heard of one falling out three times in 3 months either.
