Alot of people are sent home later in the day after their PEG is installed. I also had my port done at the same time. I was kept overnight because I was pretty sore. One advantage to staying overnight is the next morning I had my radiation mask made while still a little groggy from the pain meds.

Pete: Glad you were able to adjust your feeds so it works better for you. The 2 cans using the flow rate is amazing. I had trouble from day one with that method and also couldnt just push a can in slowly either. Both ways made me puke it all back up and that stuff sure tastes bad. I ended up losing a ton of weight and got dehydrated which landed me twice in the hospital. The pump and my nutritionist saved me by introducing overnight slow feedings.

Give the overnight way a try. Put 4 cans and a little water in a bag and set it for whatever you can tolerate (125 is pretty good). Gotta get to bed kinda early like 8 or 9 and let the pump run. Make sure you use a couple pillows so you are sleeping inclined. Thats the really easy way. It also takes the load off doing it so much daytime.
