To PEG or not to PEG, that is the question that is a real HOT button on OCF. I ran afoul of it in my first few days here and almost dropped out of OCF figuring the last thing I needed was another flame throwing forum. Of course I brought it on myself with an evangelical zeal for no PEG, no way despite over 40 lb weight loss. David (not your David) summed it up very nicely in his post. For what it is worth, I totally identify with your David's feelings. For many posters here, a PEG was a God send that got them thru treatment. My expectations were in fact highly unreasonable, but worked out.
Prayers for the surgery going well
