Also, if it turns out that you would need a PEG the effects from the insertion are likely to be miserable (inflamed mouth). I did not use the PEG for a long time and I hated the thing, but if I had to do this again, I would get both the PEG and the port again. Having a PEG does not mean that you all of a sudden forget to swallow. I used mine primarily to supplement my liquid intake (about 4 weeks) and for a shorter time for food supplementation (2-3 weeks). No ER visits for dehydration.
