So sorry that you have yet another battle to face.
You CAN get a PEG that works and and doesn't clog. Bill had such good luck with his...never had a clog or displacement issue and got over the soreness within about 4 days. I am grateful for a wonderful surgeon..I think that made all the difference with his PEG and port.
We cleaned around it every day with gauze and kept it in place with a soft ace bandage and never had infection and soreness.
Good luck to you and ask around for a good general surgeon to place this for you...makes a difference.
