LarrysDaughter:

I am new to this site but the Peg Tube has been near and dear to me for about 12 months. I know the process of the peg tube helped my father in law get nutrition through some of his rough times (IE- radiation and chemo) when he was not able to eat.

Again as I am new I am not sure if you where able to read a post I made of his issues? I am attaching a response I just sent to a nice lady (misskate) who responded to me with some of the issues she had in regards to being active while having the tube in. I am not sure how active your father is but I am quickly finding out more information is helpful even if sometimes it does not apply to your situation.

Kate:
thank you for your response. My father in law had similar problems with clothes, etc, pulling on the tube causing discomfort and he also developed an irritation from the tape as he started out doing the same thing. As I mentioned his tube fell out after some activity which was painful as well as costly.
The cancer is very unfortunate but some good has potentially come out of it hopefully for many individuals with PEG tube issues.
My wife and her Father became entrenched in deigning a device to help him remain active with his Peg tube and it has brought them closer together.
I am trying to gather some feedback from individuals like yourself about their experiences with the feeding tube as well as get the word out about our device, while remaining respectful of the purpose of this website. We do feel that we have designed a belt we are calling "The Peg Belt" which will help individuals with feeding tubes enjoy their active lifestyle.
My father in law wore the belt for about three months before having his tube removed and he loved the belt because the design keeps the tube isolated from everything. We have re-designed the belt four times and think we have it.
Again, my goal is to respect this website and it's purpose. However, at the end of the day we feel we have designed a device that will help people with peg tubes stay active. I strongly feel my father in law is doing as well as he is because he refused to stop golfing and exercising. Our website is www.thepegbelt.com if you would like more information.

Again, I appreciate the feedback very much and wish you and all who read this the very best of luck with whatever they are going through. Any additional feedback would be very much appreciated.
